Bad Luck

(album: Solid - 1997)

I have to tell a story about a man
Never in the mood to change his life
Nobody wants to help him as he spirals down
But one day the wrong decision hit him overnight

No more cocktail parties champagne's run dry
No company take-overs stock markets high
No more hand-jobs in the boardroom sex is history
And no saunas, no jacuzzis the penalties you'll reap

At last he realized he did it wrong
Messed big time everywhere double-dealing lies

He's going down on his bad luck his just deserts
He's going down on his bad luck what he deserved

His old man told him always listen son
It's a two-way street to fortune you gotta hit and run
Don't forget the mirror look who's behind
And don't you come up crying when it's faster coming down

At last he realized he did it wrong
Messed big time everywhere double-dealing lies

He's going down on his bad luck his just deserts
He's going down on his bad luck what he deserved
He's going down on his bad luck it's his time
He's going down on his bad luck can't rewind

Do you get the story you know this man
Have you learned a lesson do you understand
When all you got is crystal you shouldn't cast a stone
So be careful when you go up 'cause you'll meet them coming down

He's going down on his bad luck his just deserts
He's going down on his bad luck what he deserved
He's going down on his bad luck it's his time
He's going down on his bad luck can't rewind
