Madman drummers bummers and 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 calliope crashed to the ground
Some all-hot half-shot was headin` for the hot spot, snappin` his fingers, clappin` his hands
And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover`s knot with a whatnot in her hand
And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers, Daddy`s within earshot, save the buckshot, turn up the band
And she was blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tight, but she`ll make it alright
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 all alone, watchin` the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin` with his frozen zone to remind him of the feeling of romance
Yeah, he was blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
He got down but he never got tight, but he`s gonna make it tonight
Some silicone sister with her manager`s mister told me I got what it takes
She said, I`ll turn you on, sonny, to something strong if you play that song with the funky break
And Go-Cart Mozart was checkin` out the weather chart to see if it was safe to go outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in her curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer, playin` backyard bombardier
Yes, and Scotland Yard was trying hard, they sent some dude with a calling card, he said, Do what you like, but don`t do it here
Well, I jumped up, turned around, spit in the air, fell on the ground and asked him which was the way back home
He said, Take a right at the light, keep goin` straight until night, and then, boy, you`re on your own
And now in Zanzibar, a shootin` star was ridin` in a side car, hummin` a lunar tune
Yes, and the avatar said, Blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar, we`re gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon
And some kidnapped handicap was complainin` that he caught the clap from some mousetrap he bought last night
Well, I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw a gap but figured he`d be all right
He was just blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun
Oh, but Mama, that`s where the fun is
I was blinded
I was blinded
I was blinded
