Lyrics
Shot of Luck
V1I'm bouncing on a subway train, I'm rolling back and forth. Someone give a light inside I can't see my left foot. Or light a cigarette, I now I'm not alone,worry like an old man, feel my way by braille.
B Anxious on these rails nervous on these rails.
V2 Lady in a fur coat she snaps at me. Looks like an overgrown walrus in a tree. Man hides in newspaper he's spying on me. He's FBI or CIA or DA I believe.
B It's a roller coaster ride, a roller coaster ride.
C Oh Mister Conductor please let me of your train. Oh, Mister Conductor I feel so ill today.
v3 I look at my wristwatch I'm running out of time. Get in line we push and shove,oh to unwind. Rainclouds on the horizon a black day ahead.I wish I could crawl inside my blankets warm bed. B For my piece of mind, for my piece of mind.
Chourus
M8 To work I arrive to late, the bosses face portrays the hate. Into his office I wait,as pink slip brings my job. To it's bitter fate.
V3Back to the station not an hour later. I'm dizzy and I'm much depressed. I'm back to being a waiter. Thinking of my finances, sinking in the muck,oh get me out of here, I need a Shot of Luck.
