Bad Luck Charm

You were born on a Tuesday the thirteenth
Bad Luck Charm, and that's why
You’re always stuck in a rut
Unable to get it together

You're a screw-up in this life
With the bad luck that haunts you
And you keep following the crowd
With misfortune by your side

Friends from when you were young
Used to take you along
But when they got fed up
They had to let you go

Now they bail on your side
And they shout: Bad Luck Charm
Please step aside
You’re gonna bring us down

Bad Luck Charm
Please step aside
Bad Luck Charm
You’re gonna infect us

Play that iron
'Cause bad luck's close by
Make a quick move
If you don’t want to drown
Sadly in the deep end

If you want to change your luck
Turn your steps around
Get yourself a lucky charm
And hang a key around your neck

If you find a horseshoe
Take it to your room
And tie it to the headboard
With some string to keep it safe

In the morning when you wake up
Don’t step with your left foot
And lean to the right
Every time you sneeze

If that doesn’t work for you
Buy twenty cyanide pills
And on a Tuesday the thirteenth
Old man, you’ll forget it all
