{Refrain:
A                    G#m
Blinded by the light
              F#m                            E
Revved up like a deuce another runner in the night } (x3)

A                                            G#m                                    F#m              E
Madman drummers bummers Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
           A                                          G#m                          F#m              E
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
            A                                  G#m                      F#m                          E
With a boulder on my shoulder feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round
               A                      G#m                  F#m                          E
With his very unpleasing sneezing & wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground
A   G#m F#m E   B
                                The calliope crashed to the ground and she was

Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes
                    A                            G#m
She said I'll turn you on sonny to something strong
              F#m                         E
Play the song with the funky break
           A                        G#m
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart
      F#m                         E
To see if it was safe outside
         A                            G#m
And little early-Pearly came in by her curly-wurly
         F#m                            E   A   G#m F#m E   B
And asked me if I needed a ride
B
Asked me if I needed a ride and she was

[REFRAIN]

                           C#m B
Blinded by the light . . . she got down but she never got tight
                   A                            G#m
She's gonna make it thorugh the night
                   F#m                       C#m B A /B C#m E B C#m B A
She's gonna make it through the night

      C#m                            E     B
But mama that's where the fun is
C#m                 B                                      A
Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun
B     C#m                           B
But mama that's where the fun is . . .

Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
         A                                  G#m
Says dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone
F#m                                   E
That's where they expect it least
                 A                                      G#m
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner
F#m                               E
Watchin' the young girls dance
                 A                                       G#m
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone
      F#m                   E
Reminding him of romance, the calliope crashed to the ground and she was

Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot, throws his lover in the sand
                 A                                            G#m
And some bloodshot forget-me-not says daddy's within earshot
               F#m                         E
Save the buckshot turn up the band
B                                                                        A                          E
She got down but she never got tight she's gonna' make it through the night
