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 got what it takes
 She said, "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong
 Play the song with the funky break"
 And go-kart 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 eyes 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 its funny bone
 That's where they expect it least
 And some new-mown chaperone standin' in the corner
 Watchin' the young girls dance
 And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone
 Remind 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
 (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, feeling kinda older) blinded by the light
 (I tripped the merry-go-round) revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
 (With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin') blinded by the light
 (The calliope crashed to the ground) revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
 (Now Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot) blinded by the light
 (And throws his lover in the sand) revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
 (And some bloodshot, forget-me-not said daddy's within earshot) blinded by the light
 (Save the buckshot, turn up the band) revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
 (Some silicone sister with a manager mister) blinded by the light
 (Told me I got what it takes) revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
 (She said, "I'll turn you on, son, into something strong")
 She got down but she never got tired
 She's gonna make it through the night
