Blinded by the Light
Blinded by the light
Riding my bike in the middle of the night
Pity my plight
I ran over the foot of a runner in the night
I admitted my flaw, but then we both saw
a UFO with 2 diplomats
the runner he said "oy"
And in a ploy to annoy
A tractor beam pulled my bike and our hats.
They said "we come from a planet, our queen's name is Janet
and she's taken a fancy to you
It's quite an honor, we all fawn upon her
She'll add you to the national zoo!"
I said "are you crazy
My future may be hazy
But I don't want to be in a cage
Sorry to upset you and sorry that I met you
But I hope you turn the page"
They said to reconsider, not to be bitter
At the fate in store for me
On this earth life is worse, seems like it's got a curse
Any sane species would agree.
I asked to bring my sister, because I'd really miss her
And 500 video games I had found.
They said, "that's fine, just sign the dotted line."
And they lifted me off of the ground
Revved up like a disco in Woke San Francisco
A tractor beam is a thrill-seeker dream
Then I felt dread, because they said
I'd be injected in a scientist scheme.
Suddenly I came too on Willow Avenue
and realized I'd fallen off my bike
I saw stars in my head, wanted to go to bed
Must have looked quite a sight
Then there came a cop car and it gave me quite a jar
and the runner was in a bad mood
I said I didn't mean it, I just hadn't seen it
But the guy had attitude
He drew back his fist, and I thought he had missed
but I was:
Blinded by the light....
