BLINDED BY THE LIGHT |
|
Bruce Springsteen |
|
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 |
