[Intro]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

The calliope crashed to the ground!

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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-kart 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

[Pre-Chorus]

Asked me if I needed a ride!

[Chorus]

But, she was blinded by the light

Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

Blinded by the light

[Breakdown]

She got down but she never got tired

She's gonna make it through the night

She's gonna make it through the night

[Instrumental Break 02:54-04:09]

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

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

[Piano Solo]

[Verse 3]

Some brimstone, baritone, anticyclone, rolling stone

Preacher from the east

Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's 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 reminding him of romance

[Pre-Chorus]

The calliope crashed to the ground!

[Chorus]

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

[Counter Chorus]

(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, feeling kinda older)

Blinded by the light

(I tripped the merry-go-round)

Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

(With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin')

Blinded by the light

(The calliope crashed to the ground)

Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

(Now, Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot)

Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

(And throws his lover in the sand)

Blinded by the light

(Some bloodshot forget-me-not said daddy's within earshot)

Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

(Save the buckshot, turn up the band)

Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

(Some silicone sister with a manager mister)

Blinded by the light

Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

(Told me I got what it takes)

(She said, "I'll turn you on, son, into something strong")

[Outro]

She got down, but she never got tired

She's gonna make it through the night
