about

You can read this lyric two ways.

Option One: This person is caught in an unhealthy and unsustainable cycle of all-night partying, followed by gut-wrenching remorse.

Option Two: This person is a werewolf, caught in a monthly cycle of violent transformation, followed by horror at what they’ve done, and fear of being discovered.

Choose the one that’s the most fun for you.

lyrics

Well, there ain’t no pain like the morning after
With the sun in your bloodshot eyes.
You’re choking down your coffee as you struggle to remember
Just exactly what you did last night.

You got a big bad feeling that you crossed a line
But your memory’s all a blur
You keep one eye open on the morning news
And hope it doesn’t tell you where you were…

AWOOO… There ain’t nothing wrong with howlin’ at the moon.
AWOOO… There ain’t nothing wrong with howlin’ at the moon.

And it’s a work-a-day week as you wander through your your business
Laying low, and playing pretend.
And you stare into the mirror and you swear to your reflection
That you’re never gonna do it again.

But when you’re lying in bed, there’s a ticking clock,
As the night rolls on and on
‘Cause there’s a primal urge that fights to emerge
In the dark before the dawn

AWOOO… There ain’t nothing wrong with howlin’ at the moon.
AWOOO… There ain’t nothing wrong with howlin’ at the moon.

After a couple of weeks with no release
You got a hunger you can barely contain
And with the weekend coming, every nerve is humming,
Like a growl at the back of your brain

You can feel that monster prowling now
Like a shadow on the edge of town
You know you really shouldn’t, and you promised that you wouldn’t,
But you’re fighting down the urge to (HOWL)

Well, there ain’t no pain like the morning after
With the sun in your bloodshot eyes.
You’re choking down your coffee as you struggle to remember
Just exactly what you did last night.

You got a big bad feeling that you crossed a line
But your memory’s all a blur
You keep one eye open on the morning news
And hope it doesn’t tell you where you were…

AWOOO… There ain’t nothing wrong with howlin’ at the moon.
AWOOO… There ain’t nothing wrong with howlin’ at the moon.
