Manfred Mann’s Earth 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
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-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!
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 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
Blinded by the light
Madman drummers bummers,
Indians in the summer
Revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
With a teenage diplomat
Blinded by the light
In the dumps with the
mumps as the adolescent pumps
Revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
His way into his hat
Blinded by the light
With a boulder on my shoulder,
feelin’ kinda older
Revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
I tripped the merry-go-round
Blinded by the light
With this very unpleasin’,
sneezin’ and wheezin
Revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
The calliope crashed to the ground
Blinded by the light
Now Scott with a slingshot
finally found a tender spot
Revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
And throws his lover in the sand
Blinded by the light
And some bloodshot
forget-me-not said daddy’s
within earshot
Revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Save the buckshot,
turn up the band
Blinded by the light
Some silicone sister
with a manager mister
Revved up like a deuce
another runner in the night
Told me I got what it takes
Blinded by the light
She said, “I’ll turn you on
sonny to something strong
She got down,
but she never got tired
She’s gonna make
it through the night
