Blinded By the Light
Verizon Center ~ DC ~ April 18, 2009
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
