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
Blinded, blinded

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
She's 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, blinded

Some silicone sister with a manager mister
Told me, "You′ve 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
Asked me if I needed a ride

Asked me if I needed a ride

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

She got down, she never got tired
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

Asked me if I needed a ride

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, 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
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") blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

She was blinded, blinded
Blinded, blinded by the light
Blinded by the light (blinded)
Revved up like a deuce (blinded)
Another runner in the night (blinded by the light)
Blinded by the light (blinded)
Revved up like a deuce (blinded)
Another runner in the night (blinded by the light)
Blinded by the light

She got down, she never got tired
She′s gonna make it through the night
