Leonard Cohen Woke Up this Morning Lyrics

I woke up this morning
Got myself a gun,
Mama always said I´d be the
Chosen One.

One in a million
I´ve got live burn to shine,
I was born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in my eyes.

And I
Woke up this morning
And all that love had gone,
Papa never told me
About right and wrong.

But I´m looking good, baby,
I believe that I´m feeling fine, (shame about it),
I was born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in my eyes.

So help me now

Woke up this morning
I got a blue moon in my eyes
Woke up this morning
I got a blue moon in my eyes

I woke up this morning
The world turned upside down,
Lord above, thing's ain't been the same
Since the Blues walked in our town. x

But I´m one in a million
Cause I´ve got that shotgun shine; shame about it,
Born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in my eyes.

Woke up this morning
I Got a blue moon in my eyes (God demm shame about it)
Woke up this morning
I Got a blue moon in my eyes

I can´t help myself

I woke up this morning everything was gone.
By half past ten my head was going ding-dong.
Ringing like a bell from your head down to my toes,
Like a voice telling you there was something I should know.
Last night I was flying but today I´m so low
Ain't it times like these make me wonder if you'll ever know
The meaning of things as they appear to the others:
Wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers.
I wish you didn't function,
And I wish you didn't think
Beyond the next paycheck and the next little drink'
Well you do so make up my mind to go on,'cos
When I woke up this morning everything I had was gone.

Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning
I wanna be the Chosen One.

Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning
Got myself a gun.
Got myself a gun.
Got myself a gun.
