Manfred Mann blinded by the light
    #5361480 - 03/03/06 12:56 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

What the hell is that song about?



Blinded by the Light

[Chorus]: 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 (fading)

Madman dummers bummers,
Indians in the summer,
With a teenager diplomat
And the dumps with the mumps
As the adolescent pumps his way into his hat

With a boulder my shoulder,
feeling kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
(pickup)
the calliope crashed to the ground

(chorus)

Some silicon sister with a manager mister
told me I go what it takes.
I'll run you on sonny to something strong
play the song with the funky break

And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the
weather charts see if it was safe outside
And little Early Burly came by in his curly wurly
and asked me if i needed a ride
(pickup)
asked me if i needed a ride


(chorus)

Bridge: She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it to the night
She's gonna make it through the night


(break with soul-stirring solo)

Oh momma that's where the fun is
But momma that's where the fun is
Momma always told me not to look
in the eye's on the sun
But momma that's where the fun is

(chop sticks variation)

So brimstone-baritone, anti-cyclone Rolling Stone
Preacher from the East,
says dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone
thats what they expect at least

It's a new grown chaperon standing in the corner
watching the young girls dance
and some fresh sown moonstone messing with his frozen zone,
only reminding him of romance
(pickup)
and the calliope crashed to the ground

(Chorus)

(Chorus and First Verse)

Now Scott with the sling-shot finally found a tender spot
and throws his lover in the sand
and some blood-shot forget-me-not
said Daddy's within earshot, save the buck-shot, turn up the band

(repeat Verse 2 "Silicon sister with a manager....")
(bridge)

I have always wondered the same thing, and I'm sure everyone who HAS EVER HEARD it probably wonders as well...

My best guess is Mannfred wanted to make us wonder...?

My first thought is coke, revved up, running in the night, blinded by the light. Sort of sounds like a night of getting geeked

I think we need to figure out what 'wrapped up like a deuce' connotes, before we can divulge the song's entire meaning...

Im almost certain it is about coke, because it is on the Blow soundtrack.

The original Springsteen lyrics are "cut loose like a Deuce, another runner in the night." But aren't Manfred Mann's lyrics "revved up like a douche"?

A deuce could be referring to 2.2 pounds (1 kilo) of coke, however some people believe he is referring to the 1932 Ford Coupe. :shrug:

Hell, maybe he was a basehead and he was referring to a 20 sack of rock?
