Song lyrics
It's the dawn of the day and I'm crashed and I'm smashed
As it is I'm feeling like my chips are cashed
All of my clothes strewn all over the room
The crisis at hand is I'm all out of zoom
I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on TV
Is the good morning news
The tricks of the night keeping me in a daze
We'll open a bottle and I'll pull down the shades
Glance in the mirror, back into bed
We'll get up the same time to party again
I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on TV
Is the good morning news
Bright Light Fright, Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright, go give me the night
Bright Light Fright, Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright, go give me the night
I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on TV
Is the good morning news, woo
Bright Light Fright, Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright, go give me the night
Bright Light Fright, Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright, go give me the night
I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on TV
Is the good morning news
