Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke a dog from a running dream
And that's bad luck (Bad luck)
Ate a black fly in the cream
And that's bad luck (Bad, bad luck)
[Verse 2]
Chipped my tooth on an engagement ring
That's bad luck (Bad luck)
Could have stopped any one of these things
But that would have been bad luck
[Verse 3]
Are you tired of things going right?
Things going wrong?
Tired of trying to make everyone happy
Too tired to sing your own songs
[Verse 4]
Do you wish you could stop everything?
Take back your life?
Say sorry that you gave it up so easy
And cry like you're trying to be born?
[Verse 5]
Woke a dog from a running dream
And that's bad luck (Bad luck)
Ate a black fly in the cream
And that's bad luck (Bad, bad luck)
[Verse 6]
Chipped my tooth on an engagement ring
That's bad luck (Bad luck)
Could have stopped any one of these things
But that would have been bad luck
[Verse 7]
So I died and went to work
So I died and went to work
It's not as bad as I thought it would be
But it's still pretty bad luck
It's not as bad as I thought it would be
But it's still pretty bad luck
[Verse 8]
I woke a dog from a running dream
And that's bad luck (Bad luck)
Ate a black fly in the cream
And that's bad luck (Bad, bad luck)
[Verse 9]
Chipped my tooth on an engagement ring
That's bad luck (Bad luck)
Could have stopped any one of these things
But that would have been bad luck
[Verse 10]
And luck (Luck)
The most contrary asset of them all
Draggin' in our nature's coattails
Acting like it wrote the moon
Trying to pass riddles as poetry
Embargo is love's waiting room
[Verse 11]
In meantime
Right here in human time
My heart could break
For a one-legged seagull
And still afford nothing to you
(That's bad luck)
[Verse 12]
Are you tired of things going right?
Things going wrong?
Tired of trying to make everyone happy
Too tired to sing your own song
[Verse 13]
I woke a dog from a running dream
And that's bad luck (Bad luck)
Ate a black fly in the cream
And that's bad luck (Bad, bad luck)
[Verse 14]
Chipped my tooth on an engagement ring
That's bad luck (Bad luck)
Could have stopped any one of these things
But that would have been bad luck
[Verse 15]
So I died and went to work
So I died and went to work
So I died and went to work
(I died and went to work)
