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 who am I and where is she and what did I do
But 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 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

When the hangover this morning had a personality
And I cast my shattered mind over selected memories
I didn’t even touch the light switch so I knew I’d never see
The Haggard face that would be staring back at me

Well 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 who am I and who is she and what did I do
But worst of all I had to face the big light
