Blinded By The Light
As rearranged and recorded by Manfred Mann's Earth Band
CHORUS (Repeat 3x to fade)
blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce another runner in the night
Madman drummers bummers and 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 unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground
the calliope crashed to the ground and she was...
CHORUS
blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes
She said I'll turn you on sonny to something strong if you play that 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 in by her curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
asked me if I needed a ride and she was...
CHORUS
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 tight, she's gonna make it thorugh the night
she's gonna make it thorugh the night
Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun
but mama that's where the fun is.....ooh
Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
says: "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner watchin' 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 and she was...
CHORUS
blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
blinded by the light
cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not says Daddy's within earshot save the buckshot turn up the band
She got down but she never got tight she's gonna' make it through the night.
