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 f resh-sown moonstone was messin' with
 his frozen zone to remind him of the feeling of romance

Yeah lie 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 witn 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 rice.
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
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
