Info
I'll admit, when I first found this album and played it, I assumed the idea behind this tune was a euphemistic reference to masturbation--you know, the old, "You'll go blind if you keep doing that." Or at least to sex in general.

And, in fact, the song seems tongue-in-cheek, as if leading us down that path--but in reality, it's talking about rock and rolling! If there's any doubt as to why one might think Meat was having a private giggle about the pseudo-sexual references, just read the lyrics in the "Doin' it in the..." verse.

Lyrics
I'll go blind before I stop

And I'll go blind before I stop
They're gonna have to come in and lock me up
And I'll go blind before I stop
Cuz this boy mama just wanna rock

There's a two ton fireball burnin' through the headphones
Cuttin' up my heart, makin' ashes of my soul
A lightning bolt petition, tonight I'm gonna sign
Trouble out my window and I'm gonna find it

And I'm feelin' the fever, takin' in the heat
Bouncin' to the boogie, hittin' with the beat
Wrapped in rhythm, dancin' till we drop

And I'll go blind before I stop
They're gonna have to come in and lock me up
And I'll go blind before I stop
Cuz this boy mama just wanna rock

Moonlite madness masquerade, I got my invitation, baby, time to play
Rip off the headphones, shove my arm into the socket
Sound comes rushing thru me like an intravenous rocket

And I'm feelin' the fever, takin' in the heat
Bouncin' to the boogie, hittin' with the beat
Wrapped in rhythm, dancin' till we drop

And I'll go blind before I stop
They're gonna have to come in and lock me up
And I'll go blind before I stop
Cuz this boy mama just wanna rock

Doin' it in the market, doin' it in the mall
Doin' it in the bushes and the high school hall
Doin' it in the alley, doin' it for free
Now they're doin' it baby on MTV

Doin' it in the backseat, doin' it on the beach
Doin' it in the grandstand, just dancin' on the seats
Doin' it in the movies, doin' it on the train
Doin' it mile high in a big jet plane

And I'm feelin' the fever, takin' in the heat
Bouncin' to the boogie, hittin' with the beat
Wrapped in rhythm, dancin' till we drop

And I'll go blind before I stop, they're gonna have to come in and lock me up

And I'll go blind before I stop
They're gonna have to come in and lock me up
And I'll go blind before I stop
Cuz this boy mama just wanna rock
