Madman drummers bummers and 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' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round
|
With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the
|
ground
|
Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for the hot spot snappin' his fingers
|
clappin' his hands
|
And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her
|
hand
|
And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his
|
lover in the sand
|
And some bloodshot forget-menot whispers daddy's within earshot save the
|
buckshot turn up the band
|
|
And she was blinded by the light. Cut loose like a deuce
|
Another runner in the night. Blinded by the light
|
She got down but she never got tight, but she'll make it alright
|
|
Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
|
He says: "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where they
|
expect it least"
|
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner all alone watchin' the
|
young girls dance
|
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messing with his frozen zone to remind him of
|
the feeling of romance
|
|
Yeah he was blinded by the light. Cut loose like a deuce
|
Another runner in the night. Blinded by the light
|
He got down but she never got tight, but he's gonna make it tonight
|
|
Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got 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
|
Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer playin' backyard bombardier
|
Yes and Scotland Yard was trying hard, they sent a dude with a calling card, he
|
said, do what you like, but don't do it here
|
Well I jumped up, spit in the air, fell on the ground, asked wich was the way
|
back home
|
He said take a right at the light, keep going straight until right, and then
|
boy you're on your own
|
|
And now in Zanzibar a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car hummin' a lunar
|
tune
|
Yes, and the avatar said blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar, we're
|
gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon
|
And some kidnapped handicap was complaining that he caught the clap from some
|
mousetrap he bought last night
|
Well I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw a gap but he'd
|
figured he'd be all right
|
|
He was just blinded by the light. Cut loose like a deuce
|
Another runner in the night. Blinded by the light
|
Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun
|
Oh but mama that's where the fun is
|
