I'm looking for the lyrics to Blinded by the Light?

I don't know the name of the group, but I've always wondered what they are really saying. Lyric sites seem to go by the groups name, so I'm stuck.

    Artist: Manfred Mann's Earth Band Lyrics

    Song: 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

    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' kinda older,

    I tripped the merry-go-round

    With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin,

    the calliope crashed to the ground

    The calliope crashed to the ground

    But she was...

    Blinded by the light,

    revved up like a deuce,

    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

    Blinded by the light,

    revved up like a deuce,

    another runner in the night

    Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes

    She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong,

    play the song with the funky break"

    And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside

    And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride

    Asked me if I needed a ride

    But she was...

    Blinded by the light,

    revved up like a deuce,

    another runner in the night

    Blinded by the light

    She got down but she never got tired

    She's gonna make it through the night

    She's gonna make it through the night

    But mama, that's where the fun is

    But mama, that's where the fun is

    Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun

    But mama, that's where the fun is

    Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east

    Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone,

    that's where they expect it least"

    And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner,

    watching the young girls dance

    And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone, reminding him of romance

    The calliope crashed to the ground

    But she was...

    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

    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

    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

    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' 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 finially found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand

    And some bloodshot forget-me-not said daddy's within earshot save the buckshot, turn up the band

    Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes

    She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong"

    Bruce Springsteen-Blinded by the Light

    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-me-not 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 anti-cyclone 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 messin' 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, turnedaround, spit in the air, fell on the ground

    Asked him which was the way back home

    He said take a right at the light, keep goin' straight until night, 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 complainin' 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 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

    Who's version? The original (Bruce Springsteen) or the much more popular remake by Mannfred Manns Earth Band? (note - popular does not equal better. Bruces version is by far the best of the two.)

    Long Live Jambi

    Any reason you couldn't type "Blinded By the Light" Lyrics in Yahoo? Only like a zillion references.

    Give RAWR the ten points.

    Manfred Mann slurred the words so badly it sounds like he's singing about about a disposable feminine hygiene product.

    That's okay though. Try listening to "Louis Louis."

    are you disappointed that it doesn't include the word Douche?

    awwell. But check out the lyrics to "Who are you" by the Who - and guess what they don't edit out of the radio version.... hahaha!
