FOUR LEAF CLOVER

Though I’ve been down, and I’ve been out I doubt you really care.

You’re busy throwing chain saws at my head.

But I hope that when you’ve had your fun

You brush your teeth with Tommy guns

And paint the mirror gargling with lead.

Well, I’ve always been a loner ‘cause I don’t know who to trust

And people just annoy me when they breathe.

They wink and grin and tip their hat

Then envy stabs you in the back.

I’m guilty for the crime of being’ me.

So, pour me down another round and tell me I’m your friend,

Then shake my hand and leave me in the gutter once again

Where all my pretty horses they have all left and gone away.

Been a long time since I’ve seen the light of day.

Yes, every Jack’s a joker man and every fool’s a clown.

They always get their kicks at my expense.

But if they bathed in gasoline, I’d hand out cigarettes for free,

'Til I’m the one left laughing’ in the end.

Now, when it comes to lovin’ I avoid it like the cops

Until your bloodshot eyes induce me home.

We hugged and kissed and wrecked the sheets

You woke up puking next to me

If only I had spent the night alone.

Though some find four-leaf clovers and get all the lucky breaks

But everybody makes mistakes just punch me in the face

And now my pockets gonna pay cause my baby’s here to stay.

Been a long time since I see the light of day.

Though life won’t give you lemons

Makin’ lemonade can’t fix.

But times like this I really wish I had the instant mix

I hope your daggers ricochet and that’s all I gotta say.

The losers always win the fight; I pass out wasted every night.

Been a long time since I’ve seen the light of day.
