A dime, a dime, a dime, a dime, and not a day was spent.
A tiny church, a tiny town, and not a tear was spent.
But you were born under a bad sign
With a boom boom in your eye
But you were born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eye
But you're looking good, baby
I believe you're feeling fine, (shake my body).
But you're looking good, baby
I believe you're feeling fine, (shame about it).
Woke up this morning with a boom-boom in your eye.
Woke up this morning with a blue moon in your eye.
You came along and told this woman about me
Looks like she found me,
and I know why I ate that shit
that I cooked up this morning
You came along and tore this wall down around me
Looks like you found me...
now I know why I felt like shit
when I woke up this morning
You came along and tore this war bed around me.
You came along and tore this world out around me.
woke up this morning with your goomar in your eye....
You woke up this morning with the blue moon in your eye?
