Blinded By The Light

Madman drummers, bummers, and 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 unpleasing sneezing and wheezing

The calliope crashed to the ground

Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for a hot spot

Snappin' his fingers, clappin' his hands

And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot

With a whatnot in her hand

And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found the tender spot

And throws his lover in the sand

And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers, "Daddy's within earshot"

Save the buckshot, turn up the band

And she was blinded by the light

Oh, cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night

Blinded by the light

She got down, but she never got tight

But she'll make it all right

Some brimstone baritone, anti-cyclone

Rolling stone, preacher from the east

He 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 all alone

Watchin' the young girls dance

And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone

To remind him of the feeling of romance

Yeah, he was blinded by the light

Oh, cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night

Blinded by the light

He got down, but he never got tight

But he's gonna make it

Tonight

Some silicone sister with her manager's mister

Told me I got what it takes

She said, "I'll turn you on, sonny, to something strong

If you'll play that song with the funky break"

And go-kart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart

To see if it was safe to go outside

And little Early-Pearly came by in her curly-whirly

And asked me if I needed a ride

Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer

Playin' backyard bombardier

Yes, then Scotland Yard was trying hard

They sent some dude with a calling card

He said, "Do what you like, but don't do it here"

Well, I jumped up, turned around, spit in the air, fell on the ground

Asked him which was the way back home

He said, "Take a right at the light, keep goin' straight until night

And then, boys, you're on your own"

And now in Zanzibar a shootin' star was ridin' in a sidecar

Hummin' a lunar tune

Yes, and the avatar said, "Blow the bar, but first remove the cookie jar

We're gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon"

And some kidnapped handicap was complainin' that he caught the clap

From some mousetrap he bought last night

Well, I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears

I saw a gap and figured he'd be all right

He was just blinded by the light

Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night

Blinded by the light

Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun

Whoa, "But, Mama, that's where the fun is"

Ooh, yeah

I was blinded whoa, but, Mama, whoa, but, Mama

I was blinded whoa, but, Mama

I was blinded I was blinded by the light

I was blinded I was blinded by the light

I was blinded (I was blinded by the light)

I was blinded (I was blinded)

I was blinded

I was blinded
