Текст песни Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Blinded by the Light (short version)

Blinded by the light,
Wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night.
Blinded by the light,
Wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night.
(blinded by the light)
(wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night)

Madman, drummers, bummers,
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’ kind of older,
I tripp’d the merry-go-round.
With a very unpleasin’ sneezin’ and wheezin’,
The calliope crashed to the ground.

The calliope crashed to the ground!
Well, she was blinded by the light,
Wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night.
Blinded by the light,
Wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night.
Blinded by the light,
Wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night.
(blinded by the light)
(wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night)

Some silicone sister, with the manager mister,
Told me I’ve got what it takes.
She said "I’ll turn you on, sonny, to something strong;
Play the song with the funky breaks."
And go-kart Mozart was checkin’ out the weather chart,
Seein’ if it was safe outside.
And little Wurly-Burly came in with his curly-wurly,
And asked me if I needed a ride.

Asked me if I needed a ride!
Well, she was blinded by the light,
Wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night.
Blinded by the light,
Wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night.

Blinded by the light,
(madman, drummers, bummers, indians in the summer)
Wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night.
(with a teenage diplomat)
Blinded by the light,
(in the dumps, with the mumps, as the adolescent pumps)
Wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night!
(his way into his hat)
Blinded by the light,
(with a boulder on my shoulder, feelin’ kind of older)
Wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night.
(I tripp’d the merry-go-round)
Blinded by the light,
(with this very unpleasin’ sneezin’ and wheezin’)
Wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night.
(the calliope crashed to the ground)

Blinded by the light,
(now Scott, with his slingshot, fin’ly found a tender)
Wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night!
(spot and throws his lover in the sand)
Blinded by the light,
(and some bloodshot forget-me-not says "Daddy’s within")
Wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night.
("earshot; save the buckshot, turn up the band.")
Blinded by the light,
(some silicone sister with the manager mister)
Wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night.
(told me I got what it takes)
Blinded by the light...
(she said "I’ll turn you on sonny to something strong")

She got down,
But she never got tired;
She’s gonna make it
through the night...
