Manfred Mann Blinded By The Ligh Lyrics

Blinded By The Ligh 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

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

------ guitar
solo ------

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
