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 to where was I and where 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 that's 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 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)
-Solo & Choir-
Yes I had a little feeling to have a big time And I woke up to alarm bells like a big church's chime Had to face to 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 But sooner or later you got to face the big light
