Blinded by the light – Manfred Mann’s Earth Band

Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

Madman drummers bummers
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps
As the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder
Feelin’ kinda older
I tripped the merry-go-round

With this very unpleasin’
Sneezin’ and wheezin
The calliope crashed to the ground

The calliope crashed to the ground

But she was
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I got what it takes
She said “I’ll turn you on, son, into something strong, play the song with the funky break”
And go-cart Mozart was checkin’ out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride

The calliope crashed to the ground

But she was
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

Madman drummers bummers (blinded by the light)
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat (revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night)
In the dumps with the mumps (blinded by the light)
As the adolescent pumps his way into his hat (revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night)

With a boulder on my shoulder (blinded by the light)
Feelin’ kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round (revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night)
With this very unpleasin’ (blinded by the light)
Sneezin’ and wheezin
The calliope crashed to the ground (revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night)

Now Scott with a slingshot (blinded by the light)
Finially found a tender spot (revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night)
And throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not (blinded by the light)
Said daddy’s within earshot (revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night)
Save the buckshot, turn up the band (blinded by the light)

Some silicone sister with a manager mister (blinded by the light)
Told me I go what it takes (revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night)
She said, “I’ll turn you on, sonny, to something strong”
