Foreigner Foreigner - Blinded by the Light Lyrics

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)

Madman drummers b__mers,
Indians in the summer,
With a teenager diplomat
And the dumps with the mumps
As the adolescent pumps his way into his hat

With a boulder 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)

Some silicon sister with a manager mister
told me I go 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 in by her 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)

So brimstone-baritone, anti-cyclone Rolling Stone
Preacher from the East,
says dethrone the Dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone
that's what they expect at least

And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner
watchin' the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone
only reminding him of romance

(pickup)
and the calliope crashed to the ground

(Chorus)

Madman drummers b__mers,
Indians in the summer,
With a teenager diplomat
And the dumps with the mumps
As the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder my shoulder,
feeling kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
Now 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
Some silicon sister with a manager mister
told me I go what it takes.
She said I'll turn you on sonny to something strong
She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it to the night
She's gonna make it through the night
