Blinded By Light

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the nightBlinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the nightBlinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner (fade out) in the nightMadman 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-roundWith this very unpleasin',
sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the groundWell she was...

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 isSome brimstone baritone
anticyclone
rolling stone
preacher from the east
Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone,
hit it in its funny bone,
and that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone
was standin' in the corner,

reminding him of romance
The calliope crashed to the groundBut she was...
