"Blinded by the Light" by Manfred Mann from The Roaring Silence (c) 1976 lyrics by Bruce Springstein
Chorus: 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 (fading)
Madman dummers bummers, Indians in the summer, With a teenager diplomat And the dumps with the mumps As the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder my shoulder, feeling kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin, the calliope crashed to the ground (pickup) the calliope crashed to the ground
(chorus)
Some silicon sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes. I'll run you on sonny to something strong play the song with the funky break
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather charts see if it was safe outside And little ealy birdir gave my arms a curly-whirly and asked me if i needed a ride (pickup) asked me if i needed a ride
(chorus)
Bridge: She got down but she never got tired She's gonna make it to the night She's gonna make it through the night
(break with soul-stirring solo)
Oh momma that's where the fun is But momma that's where the fun is Momma always told me not to look in the eye's on the sun But momma that's where the fun is
(chop sticks variation)
So brimestone-baritone, anti-cyclone Rolling Stone Preacher from the East, says dethrown the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone thats what they expect atleast
It's a new grown chaperon standing in the corner watching the young girls dance and some fresh sown moonstone messing with his frozen zone, only reminding him of romance (pickup) and the callidope crashed to the ground
(Chorus)
(Chorus and First Verse)
Now Scott with the sling-shot finially found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand and some blood-shot forget-me-not said daddy's waX X X ?buck-shot? turn up the band
(repeat Verse 2 "Silicon sister with a manager....")
