Out of luck,
out of luck
Out of luck, out of luck
Out of luck, out of luck
Out of luck, out of luck
Out of luck, out of luck
Out of luck, out of luck
Out of luck...
Running out
of luck
Running out of speed
Looking for some loving
Yes I got the need
Must have spent a fortune
But did I spend it well?
If I wanted water - w-w-w-w-water
I got it from the well
Throwing out a whole life's, low life's
Possessions
Throwing out a whole life's, low life's
Possessions
Running out of heat
Running out of gas
Running out of money - money
Way too fast
Running out of liquor
There's nothing left to eat
Running out of luck
Hungry for the meat
Running out a
whole life's, low life's
Possessions
Running out of luck
Living with the loneliness
Running out of luck
Heavy on the holiness
Take it easy with the emptiness - running, running, running...
Running out of luck
Push it to the brink
You can take it to the edge
Fighting for survival
Clinging to the ledge
You can strip me back to nothing
You never get me beat
Running out of luck
Or just running of heat
Running out a
whole life's, low life's
Possessions
Pushing on the other
Running out a
whole life's, low life's
Possessions
Running out
of luck
Living with the loneliness
Running out of luck
Heavy on the holiness
Easy with the emptiness
Running out of luck
Never no luck
Never no luck
I see danger,
danger, danger, danger, danger
No luck - all my life's a wreck
No luck - never know luck may
No luck - all my life's a wreck
Never know luck may change - I see danger, danger, danger, danger,
danger, danger
Dangerous - never know luck may change
No luck
Running out of luck now - never know luck may change
Running out
Running out...
