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.
