Mr. Bad Example Lyrics

by Warren Zevon c. 1991 Zevon Music/BMI 

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
