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.
