unlucky

 "she dreams of dives and dives in dreams"

poet unknown


===========================

i'm so lucky in love
lucky in love
lucky in love
i'm unlucky in life

i'll raise the shadow boxing haze, it looks away
i feel your weather beaten eyes
she dream of finer things
fantastic turns of phrase
the arch-angels sing on high
boy....you're unlucky in life

ain't it a shame that you can't blame this all on me
it's so much easier to cry
when all the superficial signs get buried deep
beneath the sands that fill your mind
girl....you're unlucky in life

the plays on the checkerboard are getting might tight
her movements serve to mystify
i will lay a claim to what remains of yesterday
and won't even wonder why
i'm so unlucky in life

she shakes an alabaster finger in my face
stains me yellow with the crime
we run on red and white, on comedy and taste
waves an empty can of wine
(count the days and count the nights...)
you are unlucky....
