Artist: Manfred Mann's Earth Band Album: Individual Songs

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, 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

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
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 to 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

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 finally 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."

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

Crazy Janey and her mission man
Were back in the alley tradin' hands
Long came Wild Billy with his friend G-Man
All duded up for Saturday night

Well, Billy slammed on his coaster brakes
And said, "Anybody wanna go to Greasy Lake
It's a mile down on the dark side of Route 88
I got a bottle of Rose, so let's try it."

We'll pick up Hazy Davy and Killer Joe
And I'll take you all out to where the Gypsy angels go
They're built like light
And they dance like spirits in the night, all night
You don't know what they can do to you
Spirits in the night - all night
In the night - all night
Stand right up now and let them shoot through you

Wild Billy was a crazy cat
And he shook some dust out of his coonskin cap
He said, "Trust some of this, it'll show you where you're at
Or at least it'll help you to feel it."

By the time we made it up to Greasy Lake
My head out the window, Janey's fingers in the cake
I think I really dug her, I was too loose to fake
I said, "I'm hurt," she said, "Honey, let's heal it."

And we danced all night to a soul fairy band
And she kissed me just right like a lonely angel can
She felt so nice
Just as soft as a spirit in the night, all night
Janey don't know what she do to you
Spirits in the night - all night
In the night - all night
Stand right up and let her shoot through you

Spirits in the night - in the night
Spirits in the night - all night
Spirits in the night - in the night
Spirits in the night - all night

Now the night was bright and the stars threw light
On Billy and Davy dancin' in the moonlight
Down near the water in a stone mud fight
Killer Joe passed out on the lawn

Hazy Davy got pretty hurt
He ran into the lake in just his socks and a shirt
Me and Crazy Janey's makin' love in the dirt
Singin our birthday songs

Janey said it ws time to go
So we closed our eyes and said goodbye to Gypsy Angel Row
Felt so right together we moved like spirits in the night, all night
You don't know what they can do to you
Spirits in the night - all night
All night - all night
Stand right up now and let them shoot through you

Spirits in the night - all night
You don't know what they can do to you
Spirits in the night - all night
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Spirits in the night - all night
Spirits in the night - all night
Spirits in the night
Spirits in the night
