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 in to his hat With a boulder on my shoulder feeling kinda' older I tripped the merry go round With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground The calliope crashed to the ground and 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 Some silicone sister with her 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 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 And 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 tight She's gonna make it through the night She's gonna make it through the night Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun, but mama That's where the fun is Some brimstone baritone anti cyclone rolling stone preacher from the east Says Dethrone the Dictaphone hit it in his funny bone and that's where they expect it least And some new mown chaperone was standing in The corner watching the young girls dance And some fresh sewn moonstone was messing with his frozen zone reminding him of romance The calliope crashed to the ground And 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 Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand and some bloodshot forget me not his daddy's within earshot save the buckshot turn up the band. She got down but she never got tight she's gonna' make it through the night.
