[00:01.18]BLINDED BY THE LIGHT
[00:12.52]
[00:12.90]Bruce Springsteen
[00:19.13]
[00:20.47]Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
[00:27.83]In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
[00:35.63]With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin’ kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round
[00:43.35]With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing, the calliope crashed to the ground
[00:51.12]Some all-hot half-shot was headin’ for the hot spot, snappin’ his fingers, clappin’ his hands
[00:58.17]And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover’s knot with a whatnot in her hand
[01:05.80]And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
[01:13.41]And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers, "Daddy’s within earshot, save the buckshot, turn up the band"
[01:20.15]
[01:20.59]And she was blinded by the light
[01:24.93]Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night
[01:28.75]Blinded by the light
[01:33.07]She got down but she never got tight, but she’ll make it alright
[01:39.77]
[01:43.93]Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone rolling stone preacher from the East
[01:51.06]He says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that’s where they expect it least"
[01:58.48]And some new-mown chaperone was standin’ in the corner all alone, watchin’ the young girls dance
[02:06.55]And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin’ with his frozen zone to remind him of the feeling of romance
[02:12.75]
[02:13.17]Yeah, he was blinded by the light
[02:17.36]Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night
[02:21.61]Blinded by the light
[02:25.75]He got down but he never got tight, but he’s gonna make it tonight
[02:33.58]
[02:36.52]Some silicone sister with her manager’s mister told me I got what it takes
[02:43.62]She said, "I’ll turn you on, sonny, to something strong if you play that song with the funky break"
[02:51.69]And Go-Cart Mozart was checkin’ out the weather chart to see if it was safe to go outside
[02:59.17]And little Early-Pearly came by in her curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
[03:05.69]Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer, playin’ backyard bombardier
[03:13.65]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"
[03:21.70]Well, I jumped up, turned around, spit in the air, fell on the ground and asked him which was the way back home
[03:28.61]He said, "Take a right at the light, keep goin’ straight until night, and then, boy, you’re on your own"
[03:35.84]And now in Zanzibar, a shootin’ star was ridin’ in a side car, hummin’ a lunar tune
[03:43.17]Yes, and the avatar said, "Blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar, we’re gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon"
[03:50.82]And some kidnapped handicap was complainin’ that he caught the clap from some mousetrap he bought last night
[03:58.57]Well, I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw a gap but figured he’d be all right
[04:04.70]
[04:04.96]He was just blinded by the light
[04:09.50]Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night
[04:13.32]Blinded by the light
[04:17.55]Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun
[04:23.02]Oh, but Mama, that’s where the fun is
[04:26.97]
