Geocache Description:

BLINDED BY THE LIGHT
Not at the above co-ords.
Once solved you can park in the nearby parking lot.

Although there are several versions, including one from the
songwriter Bruce Springsteen, It was Manfred Mann who
popularized the song and there the confusion begins. The beginning
of the song brings the most confusion, but the real words from The
Springsteen version start with “Cut loose like a ...”

Here we are looking for the Manfred Mann version.
FTF will be treated to a $5 Esquires gift card and an old wrinkled $10 Keg GC, but must add a small trade item as there is none to start and the cache is very small.

Here is the key to solve:

Blinded by the light,


__ __ __ __ __ __ up like a __ __ __ __ __ ,


another __ __ __ __ __ __ the night....




Madman drummers bummers,

Indians in the summer with a teenage XXXXXXXX


In the dumps with the __ __ __ __ __


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 __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ ‘

, sneezin' and wheezin,

the xxxxxxxx crashed to the ground

The xxxxxxxx crashed to the ground

But she was...

Blinded by the light...


Some __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __


sister with a manager mister told me I got what it takes


She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong,

play the song with the funky break"


And go-cart __ __ __ __ __ __


was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe
outside

And little


__ __ __ __ __ - __ __ __ __ __ __


came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride

Asked me if I needed a ride

But she was...

Blinded by the light...


She got down but she never got tired

She's gonna make it through the night

She's gonna make it through the night

But mama, that's where the fun is

But mama, that's where the fun is

Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun

But mama, that's where the fun is


Some brimstone baritone __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __


rolling stone preacher from the east


Says, “De-throne the __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __

, hit it in it's funny bone,

that's where they expect it least"


And some new-mown __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __


was standin' in the corner,

watching the young girls dance


And some __ __ __ __ __ - __ __ __ __


moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone, reminding him of
romance


The __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __


crashed to the ground

But she was...

Blinded by the light...


Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer with a
teenage

__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __


In the dumps with the XXXXX 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 xxxxxxxx’, sneezin' and wheezin,

the XXXXXXXX crashed to the ground


Now Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and
throws his lover in the sand


And some __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __


forget-me-not said daddy's within earshot save the buckshot,
turn up the band

Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I got what it
takes

She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong"


She got down but she never got tired


She's gonna make it through the night
