Blinded by the Light Songtext
von 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, son
Into 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

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

Madman drummers bummers (blinded by the light)
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
(Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night)
In the dumps with the mumps (blinded by the light)
As the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
(Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night)

With a boulder on my shoulder (blinded by the light)
Feelin′ kinda older
I tripped the merry-go-round (revved up
Like a deuce, another runner in the night)
With this very unpleasin′ (blinded by the light)
Sneezin' and wheezin
The calliope crashed to the ground (revved
Up like a deuce, another runner in the night)

Now Scott with a slingshot (blinded by the light)
Finially found a tender spot (revved up
Like a deuce, another runner in the night)
And throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not (blinded by the light)
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 (blinded by the light)
Told me I go what it takes (revved up
Like a deuce, another runner in the night)
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
