Blinded by the Light
Blinded by the light
Riding my bike in the middle of the night
Moment of insight
Shouted Eureka gave a runner quite a fright.
We felt in a claw, when we both saw
a UFO in the sky with a diplomat
In the ploy to annoy
A tractor beam pulled my bike and my hat
They said "we came 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
With this earth that is worse, seems like it's got a curse
Any sane species would agree.
So I was blinded by the light
Said I figured they were right
Revved up like a disco in the night
Asked if i could bring my sister, because I really missed her
And 500 video games I've found
They said that's fine, just sign the dotted line
And they lifted me off of the ground
Then I said
You were just kidding ... right?
They said "Nope, you can cope, there's no hope
but we're civilized we have soap
And over there's our home in Casseiope
I looked and I was:
Blinded by the light...
