Manfred Mann Blinded By The Light Lyrics

Blinded By The Light lyrics

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 go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to 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
Asked me if I needed a ride

But she was blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it through the night
She's gonna make it through the night

But mama, that's where the fun is
But mama, that's where the fun is
Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun
But mama, that's where the fun is

Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone
That's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner
Watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone, reminding him of romance
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
(Madman drummers bummers Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat)
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
(In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat)
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
(With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older
I tripped the merry-go-round)
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
(With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin
The calliope crashed to the ground)
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
(Now Scott with a slingshot finially found a tender spot and threw his lover in the sand)
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
(And some bloodshot forget-me-not said daddy's within earshot
Save the buckshot, turn up the band)
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
(Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes)
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
(She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong")

She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it through the night
