I used to hate the sun Because it shone on everything I'd done Made me feel that all that I had done Was overfill the ashtray of my life
All my achievements in days of yore Range from pathetic to piss-poor But all that's gonna change
Because here comes sunrise Yeah, here's your sunrise
I used to hide from the sun Tried to live my whole life underground Why'd you have to rise and ruin all my fun? Just turned over, closed the curtains on the day
But here comes sunrise Yeah, here's your sunrise
When you've been awake all night long And you feel like crashing out at dawn But you've been awake all night So why should you crash out at dawn?
