Lyrics Language: EnglishManfred Mann Blinded by the Light Lyrics:
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...
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 unpleasing,
Sneezing and wheezing.
The caliope crashed to the ground.
[Short instrumental break.]
The caliope 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.
[Fade.]
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-cart, Mozart was
Checkin' out the weather chart
To see if it was safe outside.
And little early birdie,
Came by in his curly whirly,
And asked me if I needed a ride.
[Short instrumental break.]
Asked me if I needed a ride.
Well 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 to the night.
She's gonna make it through the night.
[Instrumental break.]
(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.
[Chopsticks is played on the piano.]

(Ahhhhh-ahhhhh-ahhhhh-ahhhh.)
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,
Was standin' in the corner,
Watchin' the young girls dance.
And some fresh-sown moonstone,
Was messin' with his frozen zone,
Remindin' him of romance.
[Short instrumental break.]
(The caliope 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.
[Beginning here, the chorus:
"Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce,
Another runner in the night."
is repeated and dubbed over the following:]
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 unpleasing,
Sneezing and wheezing.
The caliope crashed to the ground.
Now Scott with a slingshot,
Finally found a tender spot,
And throws his lover in the sand.
And some bloodshot, forget-me-not,
Says, "Daddy's within ear-shot.
Save the buck-shot,
Turn up the band."
Some silicone sister,
With her manager mister,
Told me I got what it takes.
She says. "I'll turn you on, sonny,
To something strong."
[Single vocal:]
She got down but she never got tight.
She's gonna make it through the night.
