Blinded By The Light
The meaning of the lyrics of this Springsteen written song came up at work today. There are a lot of different thoughts to the red highlighted lyrics' What are everyones thoughts on this.
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 he 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 by in 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 some dude with a calling card, he said, "Do what you like, but don't do it here"
Well, I jumped up, turned around, spit in the air, fell on the ground and 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
I was blinded
I was blinded

deuce means number 2 or shit ( drugs ?) & a runner is a whore(but one who`ll do anything including drugs ) so she was cut loose like she was on drugs like a drug taking whore .// early pearly is premature ejaculation & curly wurly means a conversation without any relevance & ride is a person to have sex with ( usually a male for a female ), so I take it someone who could make you cum early ( whore maybe ) wondered if he would be their sexual partner . These explinations may be wrong ( somethings have more than one meaning ) but its as close as I can get using the urban dictionary . http://www.urbandictionary.com/ Then again maybe Gus is right & too much whoopie weed was involved in the song lyrics
having read what I just wrote maybe I`m the one on drugs . Blinded by the light makes some interesting reading as well if you log on to the site & type it in ( probably means the second meaning in this song ) check it out

Wow, what great lyrics. I know the song but never really worried about the lyrics. They dont write em like that anymore. Agree with Gus ! He was off his face.

it`s not surprising Bruce doesn`t want to explain what the song means I always thought blinded by the light was about something religious.
