Blinded by the light,

revved up like a deuce,

another runner in the night

Blinded by the light,

Well, every day I work
Bringing home my pay
Come to find out baby
You've been giving my money away

Tell me baby
What you trying to do?
You ain't seen me humming

If the song of the songbird
Could replace my wrong word
Then my dear, that's the song I would borrow

And tonight you would hear
The saddest song of the year
And you'd be mine once again come tomorrow

There she was just a-walkin' down the street, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
She looked good (looked good), she looked fine (looked fine)
She looked good, she looked fine and I nearly lost my mind

Before I knew it she was walkin' next to me, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
Holdin' my hand just as natural as can be, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
We walked on (walked on) to my door (my door)

I gave you all of my loving
Everything I could
Now you say you don't love me
Well there's no reason why you should
But baby don't ask me what I say
Don't talk about it
You make my heart feel sad
Don't ask me what I say

There she was right a-walkin' down the street,
Singin', Do wah Diddy diddy dumm Diddy do
Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet,
Singin', Do wah Diddy diddy Dumm Diddy do
She looked good, LOOKED GOOD
She looked fine, LOOKED FINE
She looked good, she looked fine
And I nearly lost my mind

Now if you wanna hear some
Boogie like I'm gonna play
It's just an old piano and a knockout bass
The drummer man's a cat
They call Kickin' McCoy
And I know you will remember
That rubber legged boy
Mama's cookin' chicken fried and

Father of night, father of day
Father who taketh the darkness away
Father who teacheth the bird to fly
Builder of rainbows up in the sky

Father of day, father of night
Father of black, father of white
Father who builds the mountain so high

She walked through the corn leading down to the river.
Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun.
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like the fox on the run.

Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run.

Everybody knows the reason for the fall

Chorus
Ha ha said the clown
Has the king lost his crown,
Is the night being tight on romance
Ha ha said the clown
Is it bringing you down,
That you've lost your chance

I put a spell on you

Because you´re mine

I put a spell on you

Because you´re mine

Today, as the world carries on it's grind
I just have to stop, find my piece of mind
(Just for me)
And soon, the world was a different place
Appeared to have changed it's ugly face
(Just for me)

This day, how very strange it seems

Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Ev'rybody's building ships and boats
Some are building monuments, others jotting down notes.
Ev'rybody's in despair, ev'ry girl and boy

Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Ev'rybody's building ships and boats
Some are building monuments, others jotting down notes.
Ev'rybody's in despair, ev'ry girl and boy

My name is Jack and I live in the back of the Greta Garbo home
With friends I will remember wherever I may roam
And my name is Jack and I live in the back
Of the Greta Garbo home for wayward boys and girls
We all love Jack, we live in the back
Of the Greta Garbo home for wayward boys and girls
There goes Fred with his hands on his head cause he thinks he's heard the bomb
And here comes Superman who really puts it on

On our block all of the guys call her flamingo
Cause her hair glows like the sun
And her eyes can light the sky
When she moves she walks so fine like a flamingo
Crimson dress that clings so tight
She's out of reach and out of sight
When she walks by she brightens up the neighborhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could

In a dream it would seem
I went to those who close the open door
And turning the key, I sat and spoke to those inside of me

They answered my questions with questions
And they pointed me into the night
Where the moon was a star-painted dancer
And the world was just a spectrum of light

Born and raised as a rich man's son
You were always the restless one
Living high only made you low
So you packed up and hit the road

[Chorus:]
Hey, it's the Ragamuffin Man
Life was so grand, you used to stand

Home again
And the streets are not much cleaner
And the quaint old south side scenery
Is quaint no more just older than before
Go up the stairs and down the hallway
To my daddy's door

Your son is home, Dad, and he's found a girl

Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Everybody's building ships and boats
Some are building monuments, others are jotting down notes
Everybody's in despair, every girl and boy

Let me tell you 'bout the Manfreds
The music that they're puttin' down
They started to play on a rainy day
& the people came from miles around

CHORUS:
They didn't come for the rhythm
They didn't come for the beat

I come home from work at night
Sure enough she'll start a fight
Ah, she gets me down all right
That woman of mine

Says she has too much to do
Ah, but if she only knew
How I've grown weary too

Not too long ago
You said you'd love me to the end
But lately you're indifferent
And I can't even be your friend
If I'm really such a bore
And you don't want me anymore
Release my heart so I can love again

Different sounds come into sight
Everything's wrong and everything's right
Drifting so gently with nothing to stop me

(Walking 'round) 'Round and 'round
Suddenly, both feet are leaving the ground
The world 'round me is changing
My thoughts rearranging

Just a hunk o' steel
Yeah and just a plank o' wood
Give a little bit of bad luck
Mmm, just a bit o' good
I could be so happy
With this life of mine
But you know I'm so sad, baby
So sad, all the time
