lyrics

Back then they called me Lucky
They called this town that too.
First time luck don’t go that far
This town changed too.

The history of this city
Like truth too often bent.
The names been changed, fact rearranged
to cast us innocent.

I learnt how to press my luck
to see what it would do.
This place left me to pull my fate
through.

Before you meet me, I’ll have your portrait drawn.
Last time you lay eyes on me, I’ll be long past gone.
I watch the world around me,
Like Balzac in his time.
My dreams my only fortune, my thoughts my only crime.

They called me Lucky
They called this town that too.
First time luck don’t go that far
This town changed too.

I learnt how to press my luck
to see what it would do.
This place left me to pull my fate
through.

Watch the world around me,
Like Balzac in his time.
My dreams my only fortune, my thoughts my only crime.

They used to call me Lucky,
They called this town that too
First time luck don’t go that far
This town changed too

I learnt how to press my luck
to see what it would do.
This place left me to pull my fate
through.

After you’ve met me, a portrait in your hand,
A vague history of mixed up facts that disappear like sand.
Take in the world around me,
Like Balzac in his time.
My dreams my only fortune, my thoughts my only crime.

First time lucky,
Third time too.
Fourth time my luck struck out
The last time too.
