Manfred Mann Blinded by the Light

'''CHORUS:
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a Deuce
Another runner in the night'''
(above x3, with fade out)

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 feeling kinda' older
I tripped the merry-go-round
With his very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing
the calliope crashed to the ground

PRE-CHORUS 1:
The calliope crashed to the ground
cause she was blinded by the light
Revved up like a Deuce
Another runner in the night.

(CHORUS x3, with fade out)

VERSE 2:
Some silicone sister with the manager mister
told me I got what it takes
She said I'll turn you on, Sonny, to something strong
Play the song with the funky break

And Go-Kart Mozart was checking out the weather chart
See if it was safe outside
And Little Early Burly came by in his Curly Whirly
And asked me if I needed a ride

PRE-CHORUS 2:
Asked me if I needed a ride
'cause she was blinded by the light
Revved up like a Deuce
Another runner in the night.

(CHORUS x1)

She got down but she got tired
she's gonna make it through the night
she's gonna make it through the night.

(GUITAR SOLO)

(BRIDGE)
(fading in) But Momma, that's where the fun is!
(fading in) But Momma, that's where the fun is!
Momma always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun
But Momma, that's where the fun is!

(KEYBOARD SOLO "Chopsticks")

VERSE 3:
Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone Rolling Stone
Preacher from the East
Says dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone
That's where they expect it least.

And some new mode chaperone standing in the corner
watching the young girls dance
And some fresh sown moonstone was messing with his frozen zone,
reminding him of romance

PRE-CHORUS 4:
The calliope crashed to the ground
'cause she was Blinded by the Light
Revved up like a Deuce
Another runner in the night.

--Repeat verses 1, the below, then the first part of verse 2 while singing the chorus

Now Scott with the sling-shot finally found a tender spot
and throws his lover in the sand
and some blood-shot forget-me-not
said Daddy's within earshot, save the buck-shot, turn up the band

She got down but she never got tired -- she's gonna make it through the night.
