Intro Chorus 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) Chipped my tooth on an engagement ring And that's bad luck (Bad luck) Could have stopped any one of these things But that would have been bad luck verse 1 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 2 Do you wish you could stop everything And take back your love? Say you're sorry that you gave it up so easy And cry like you're trying to be born? Chorus 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) Chipped my tooth on an engagement ring And that's bad luck (Bad luck) Could have stopped any one of these things But that would have been bad luck Bridge 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 Chorus 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) Chipped my tooth on an engagement ring And that's bad luck (Bad luck) Could have stopped any one of these things But that would have been bad luck verse 3 And love, the most contrary asset of them all Dragging in on nature's coattails Acting like it wrote the moon Trying to pass riddles as poetry Embargo is love's waiting room verse 4 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) Verse 5 Are you tired of things going right? Things going wrong? Tired of trying to make everyone happy? Too tired to sing your own songs Chorus 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) Chipped my tooth on an engagement ring And that's bad luck (Bad luck) Could have stopped any one of these things But that would have been bad luck Outro So I died and went to work So I died and went to work So I died and went to work So I died and went to work
