Manfred Mann blinded by the light

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