The Big Light

Lyrics

Well I had a little feeling to have a big night
 And I woke up feeling small and not so brave and not quite right
 I had to face the where was I and who was she, what did I do
 Worst of all I had to face the big light
 The big light came through my window and it opened up my eyelids
 And it snapped them up like roller blinds and it told me things that I did
 I can't face another day and night of good ideas and complications
 And I'm thankful that I didn't open another bottle of inspiration (inspiration)
 When the hangover this morning had a personality
 And I cast my shattered mind over selected memories
 Didn't even touch the light switch 'cause I didn't want to see
 That haggard face was staring back at me
 The big light came through my window and it opened up my eyelids
 And it snapped them up like roller blinds and it told me things that I did
 I can't face another day and night of good ideas and complications
 And I'm thankful that I didn't open another bottle of inspiration (inspiration)
 A-oh, a-oh, a-oh, a-oh
 A-oh, a-oh, a-oh, a-oh
 Yes, I had a little feeling to have a big-time
 And I woke up to alarm bells like a big church chime
 I had to face the where was I and who was she, what did I do
 Worst of all I had to face the big light
 The big light came through my window and it opened up my eyelids
 And it snapped them up like roller blinds and it told me things that I did
 I can't face another day and night of good ideas and complications
 And I'm thankful that I didn't open another bottle of inspiration (inspiration)
 Oh, it's nice to go out and have a big night (a-oh)
 But sooner or later you're got to face the big light
 A-oh, a-oh, a-oh
