I would bet my reputation on it
100 percent sure
I think the last few words of the song are "and you know and you know and you know"

"Wrecked up like a douche"?
(Didn't google yet)

"Revved up like a deuce".

(I was close)
Still sounds like "douche" if you ask me.

From the ever-convenient Wikipedia:

"Manfred Mann's Earth Band's recording of the song changes the lyrics. The most prominent change is in the chorus, where Springsteen's "cut loose like a deuce" is replaced with "revved up like a deuce." This is commonly misheard as "wrapped up like a douche" (the V sound in "revved" is almost unpronounced, and the S sound in "deuce" comes across as "SH" due to a significant lisp). The lyric is actually a reference to a hot rod "deuce coupe." Springsteen was fond of classic hot rods in his youth, hence the line "cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night." Springsteen himself has joked about the controversy, claiming that it was not until Manfred Mann rewrote the song to be about a feminine hygiene product that it became popular."

Pretty cool. I never knew any of those words, nor that "The Boss" had written them.

Nice thread! 🙂

Thanks.
I'm sure there are many people who've been singing a song, just to be told by someone "that's not how it goes"!!

"Revved up like a deuce".

Wikipedia says:
"Deuce coupe is a slang term used to refer to the 1932 Ford coupe. Either a 3-window or 5-window coupe is still a 'deuce'. In the 1940s, the '32 Ford became an ideal hot rod, being plentiful and cheap enough for young men to buy, and available with a stylish V-8 engine. Rodders would strip weight off this readily available car and "hop up" or customize the engine."

This was also the first production Ford coupe to come with the V-8 engine standard.

Edit: Bah! Scooped!

that's a bruce springsteen song, covered by manfred mann and his earth band...

But the Manfred Mann Earth Band changed many of the lyrics of this song in their version.

It's Springsteen's version that sounds like it was written on acid.

i heard springsteen's version after i had heard the manfred mann version...
i still think the original is a better sound...

side note, whilst tripping, i prefer comedy like the firesign theater's "how can you be in two places at once, when you're not anywhere at all"

Nick Danger and Archie Tirebiter. He's a student like you.
We used to listen to " The Two Sides of T S McFee " by T S McFee when peaking.

Every lyrics site on the internet has the lyric "We all know that crap is king".

"We can do "The Innuendo"
We can dance and sing
When it's said and done we haven't told you a thing
We all know that Kraft is king
Give us dirty laundry!"

Gotta admit I thought it was "crap" is king.

To be fair, neither did anyone else.

Great song. Pure Art!

Although, Manfred must have been writing that while on psilocybin. 😀

Blinded by the Light
Manfred Mann

Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Madman drummers bummers
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 unpleasin'
Sneezin' and wheezin
The calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground
Well she was
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by…
