If you remember the seventies...

The following song lyrics were made famous by Manfred Mann, but it was originally written by Bruce Springsteen.
As weird as this version is the Bruce Springsteen version is even weirder. It has extra verses and weird arrangements.

Blinded by the Light – Manfred Mann

[Chorus]
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 (fading)

[Verse 1]
Madman drummers bummers,
Indians in the summer,
With a teenage diplomat
And 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 this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
(pickup)
the calliope crashed to the ground

(chorus)

[Verse 2]
Some silicon sister with a manager mister
told me I go what it takes.
I'll turn you on sonny to something strong
play the song with the funky break
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the
weather charts to see if it was safe outside
And little Early Burly came by in his curly wurly
and asked me if I needed a ride
(pickup)
asked me if I needed a ride

(chorus)

[Bridge]
She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it to the night
She's gonna make it through the night

(break with soul-stirring solo)

Oh momma that's where the fun is
But momma that's where the fun is
Momma always told me not to look
in the eye's on the sun
But momma that's where the fun is

(chop sticks variation)

[Verse 3]
Some brimstone-baritone, anti-cyclone Rolling Stone
Preacher from the East,
says dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone
thats what they expect it least
It's a new grown chaperon standing in the corner
watching the young girls dance
and some fresh sown moonstone messing with his frozen zone,
only reminding him of romance
(pickup)
and the calliope crashed to the ground

(Chorus)

(Chorus and First Verse)

[Verse 4ish]
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

(repeat Verse 2)
(bridge)
