[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on TV
Is the good morning news

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on TV
Is the good morning news

[Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on TV
Is the good morning news, woo

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on TV
Is the good morning news

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
