Blinded by the light
Well stop looking at it stupid !

Another runner in the night🎶
Maybe I heard those lyrics wrong?
In 2005, songwriter Bruce Springsteen explained his thoughts on this lyric (and Manfred Mann’s alteration of it) to an audience at the Rechnitz Theater in Red Bank, NJ:
…this is an interesting line because, uh, this song is my only number one song. I never had another number one song, except this one, and it wasn’t done by me, it was done Manfred Mann, which I appreciate, but they changed this line. My line says ‘Cut loose like a deuce’, and theirs said ‘(Revved up) like a douche’. Uh, I have a feeling that that is why this song skyrocketed into number one … the ‘deuce’ was like a little deuce coupe, as in two-seat hot rod. Uh, ‘douche’ is of course is a feminine hygienic procedure. Uh, so, they’re different!
