Bad Luck from Hell-On by Neko Case

ARE YOU TIRED OF THINGS GOING RIGHT?
THINGS GOING WRONG?
TIRED OF TRYING TO MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY?
TOO TIRED TO SING YOUR OWN SONGS?

DO YOU WISH YOU STOP EVERYTHING?
AND TAKE BACK YOUR LOVE?
SAY YOU’RE SORRY THAT YOU LET IT GO SO EASY
AND CRY LIKE YOU’RE TRYING TO BE BORN?

I WOKE A DOG FROM A RUNNING DREAM
AND THAT’S BAD LUCK
ATE A BLACK FLY IN THE CREAM
THAT’S BAD LUCK
I CHIPPED MY TOOTH ON AN ENGAGEMENT RING
THAT’S BAD LUCK
I COULD HAVE STOPPED ANYONE OF THESE THINGS
BUT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD LUCK

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

AND LOVE,
THE MOST CONTRARY ASSETT OF THEM ALL
OH, LOVE..
DRAGGING IN ON NATURE’S COATTAILS
ACTING LIKE IT WROTE THE MOON
TRYING TO PASS RIDDLES FOR POETRY
EMBARGO IS LOVE’S WAITING ROOM..

AND 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.
