Bright Light Fright
Aerosmith · Draw The Line
As it is I'm feelin' 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 keepin' me in a daze
We'll open a bottle and I'll pull down the shades
Glance in the mirror back into bed
Forget that it's day... 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... gimme the night
Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright
Go... gimme the night
I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on TV
Is the good morning news... wooh
Oua...
Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright
Go... gimme the night
Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright
Go... gimme the night
I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on TV
Is the good morning news
Bright Light Fright
Released on Aerosmith's 1985 album Draw The Line, "Bright Light Fright" stands as a quintessential example of the band's hard rock evolution during the mid-1980s. The track features the signature blend of Joe Perry's melodic guitar work and Steven Tyler's emotive vocals, characteristic of the era's power metal sound. While the song does not reach the commercial heights of their later hits, it remains a staple of Aerosmith's discography, showcasing their ability to craft atmospheric rock tracks that balance aggression with melodic sensibility. The recording reflects the band's continued experimentation with song structures and production techniques following the success of their previous albums, cementing their status as a defining voice in American hard rock.
