Quite Ugly One Morning — Waren Zevon

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

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

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

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

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

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
