Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Blinded by the Light


 [Intro]

 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,

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

[Instrumental]

The calliope crashed to the ground

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,

Some silicone sister with a manager mister 

told me you got 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

[Instrumental]

Asked me if I needed a ride

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


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


[Instrumental]

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

[Instrumental] 

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, 

in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps

as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat)

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

(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)

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

(Now Scott with a slingshot finially found a tender spot 

and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not said daddy's 

within earshot save the buckshot, turn up the band)

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


[Instrumental]


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