Iand'm gonna take you down
deep down to the front lines
You woke up this morning
got yourself a gun,
mama always said youand'd be
the chosen one.
She said: youand're one in a million
youand've got to burn to shine,
but you were born under a bad sign,
with a blue moon in your eyes.
You woke up this morning
all that love had gone,
your papa never told you
about right and wrong.
But youand're looking good, baby,
i believe youand're feeling fine,(shame about it),
born under a bad sign
with a blue moon in your eyes.
chorus
you woke up this morning
got a blue moon in your eyes
you woke up this morning
got a blue moon in your eyes
You woke up this morning
the world turned upside down,
thingand's ainand't been the same
since the blues walked into town.
but youand're one in a million
youand've got that shotgun shine. (shame about it)
born under a bad sign,
with a blue moon in your eyes.
you woke up this morning
got a blue moon in your eyes
you woke up this morning
got a blue moon in your eyes
When you woke up this morning everything you had 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 telling you there was something you should
know. last night you were flying but today youand're so low
- ainand't it times like these that make you wonder if
youand'll ever know the meaning of things as they appear to
the others; wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and
brothers. donand't you wish you didnand't function, donand't you wish you
didnand't 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.
Woke up this morning,
woke up this morning,
woke up this morning,
you wanna be the chosen one.
Woke up this morning,
woke up this morning,
woke up this morning,
you got yourself a gun.
