[Eb]
Madman, drummers, bombers, and Indians in the summer [F] with a teenage [Eb] diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as he adolescent pumps his [Ab] way into his hat
[Eb] With a boulder on my shoulder [Ab] feeling kinda older, I trip the [F] merry ground
[Eb] With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing, clappy [Fm] crash to the ground
[Eb] Some old hot half [Eb]-shot was heading for the hot spot, [Ab] snapping his fingers, clapping [Eb] his hands
Some flesh pot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a [Ab] what-knot in her hand
[Eb] Our young Scott with a [Ab] slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover [Eb] in the sand
Some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers, [Ab] daddy's with an ear shot, saves the buckshot
[Eb] Turn up the band, [F] and she was blinded [Eb] by a lie
[Bb] Cut loose like [F] a deuce, another runner in the night, blinded by the [Cm] lie
[Bb] She got down but she never got tight, she's [Eb] gonna make it alright
Some brimstone [Ab] baritone, anti-cyclone, rolling stone, preacher from the [Eb] east
He says dethrone the dictaphone, [Ab] hit it in its funny bone, yeah that's where they expect it [Eb] least
Some new-mown chaperone was [Ab] standing in the corner all alone, watching the young girls [Eb] dance
Some fresh-sewn moonstone was [Ab] messing with his frozen zone to remind him of the feeling [Eb] of romance
And he was [Bb]
blinded by the [Eb] lie, [F] cut loose like a deuce, another [Eb] runner in the night, blinded by the [Cm] lie
[Bb] He got down but he never got tight, [Eb] he's gonna make it alright
[Ab]
[Eb] [F] Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told [Eb] me I got what it takes
She said [F] I'll turn you on, sonny, to something strong, if you play [Eb] that song with a funky break
[F] And go-kart Mozart was checking out the weather chart to [Ab] see if it was safe to go [Eb] outside
[F] And a little early pearly came by in a curly whirly, [Ab] asked me if I needed [Bb] a ride
Oh, [Eb] some [F] hazard from Harvard was [Ab] skunked on beer, playing backyard bombardier
[Eb] Scotland Yard was trying hard, they [Ab] sent some dude with a con car, he said do what you like but don't do [Eb] it here
Well I jumped up, turned around, stood in the air, fell on the ground, [Ab] asked him which was the way back [Eb] home
He said take a right at the light, keep going straight on all night, [Ab] and then boys you're on your [Eb] own
There's more, in Zanzibar a shooting [Ab] star was riding in a sidecar, humming a lunar tune
[Eb] And the avatar said blow [Ab] the bar but first remove the cookie jar, we're gonna teach those boys to laugh too [Eb] soon
Some kidnapped handicap was [Ab] complaining that he caught the clap from some mouse trap he bought [Eb] last night
Well I unsnapped the skullcap [Ab] between his ears, I [Eb] saw a gap, [F] [Fm] figured he'd be [Eb] alright
Well he was [F] blinded by [Eb] a lie, [F] cut loose like a deuce, [Eb] another runner in the night
[Bb] Blinded by [Cm] the light, [F] mama always told me not to look into the sights of the [Eb] sun
But mama that's where the fun is, I [Cm] was blinded
[Eb] This is the best part, [Ab] I was blinded
[Eb] I [Ab] was blinded
[Eb] I [Ab] was blinded
[Eb] I was blinded
