Warren Zevon
Quite Ugly One Morning
[Verse 1]
Don't the sky look funny?
Don't it look kinda chewed-on like?
Don't you feel like running?
Don't you feel like running from the dawn's early light?

[Chorus]
Quite ugly one morning
We all said goodnight
It came without a warning
Just a flash of light

[Verse 2]
Don't you feel kind of funny?
Don't you feel kind of funny inside?
When you feel like laughing
And everybody tells you you ought to be crying

[Chorus]
Quite ugly one morning
We all said goodnight
It came without a warning
But it was quite all right

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Quite ugly one morning
We all said goodnight
It came without a warning
But it was quite all right

[Bridge]
Oh-oh
Hey-hey
Oh-oh
Hey-hey

[Verse 3]
From dawn to sundown
It's a long, long way
And it's a hollow triumph
When you make it to the bottom of another day
There's a fever rising
When the evening comes
And when the battle's over
There'll be nothing left but the sound of drums

[Chorus]
Quite ugly one morning
We all said goodnight
It came without a warning
Just a flash of light
Quite ugly one morning
We all said goodnight
It came without a warning
But it was quite all right, all right, all right
