The Big Light Lyrics - King Of America - Elvis Costello

Well, I had a little feeling to have a big night 

And 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 

Well, it's fine to go out and have a big night 

But sooner or later you're gonna face the big light
