the clocks of the wall are evil in their design
our days of wine and song never came
and calendars mark the places we've never been

so call us the unlucky ones

we walk under ladders as a matter of course

jump on every crack we can find
thirteen a day if we get half a chance
so call us the unlucky ones


i know, i know you're dying to be free


come out and dance a while
out in the black cat infested night
we dance on ledges and spires

with losers and liars
we don't have a thing to fear


the thrill of it all is we've got nothing to lose
we drank our poison
paid all our dues

and twisted fate until we ripped it in two
so call us the unlucky ones


i know, i know you're dying to be free

come out and dance a while

out in the black cat infested night
we dance on ledges and spires
with losers and liars

we don't have a thing to fear

they call us the unlucky ones

your wandering daughters and sons
they call us the unlucky ones


come out and dance a while
out in the black cat infested night
we dance on ledges and spires

with losers and liars
we don't have a thing to fear


so say a prayer for us when you go to bed
the unlucky ones
