I'm gonna take you down
Deep down, to the front line
You woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun,
Mama always said youd be
The Chosen One.
She said: Youre one in a million
Youve got to burn to shine,
But you were born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.
When you woke up this morning
All that love had gone,
Your Papa never told you
About right and wrong.
But youre
But youre looking good, baby,
I believe that youre a feeling fine,(shame about it),
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes.
So sing it now
Woke up this morning
Got a blue moon
Got a blue moon in your eyes
So sad
God damn
God damned shame about it
You woke up this morning
The world turned upside down, (Lord above),
Things aint been the same
Since the Blues walked into town.
But youre
But youre one in a million
Youve got that shotgun shine. (shame about it),
Born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.
When you woke up this morning everything was gone.
By half past ten your head was going ding-dong.
Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes,
like a voice trying to tell you theres something you should
know. Last night you were flying but today youre so low
- aint it times like these that make you wonder if
youll ever know the meaning of things as they appear to
the others; wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, sisters and
brothers.
Dont you wish you didnt function, dont you wish you
didnt think beyond the next paycheck and the next little
drink?
Well you do so make up your mind to go on, cos
when you woke up this morning everything you had was gone.
