Better Lucky Than Good
[Author's Note: These are song lyrics.]
Thinkin' of breakin'
A habit or two
Thinkin' about bein' better for you
Thinkin' of great things
Instant and true
But thinkin's about all I know how to do
When I'm so new at this
Growin' old
When nothin's for certain
Nothin's too bold
If I change my body
Will it change my mind?
If I'm kind to Fortune
Will She be, in kind?
Hopin' for money
Time so it pays
Hopin' to start realignin' my ways
Hopin' for patrons
I can amaze
But hopin's about all I'm doin' these days
While I'm so new at this
Growin' old
When nothin's for certain
Nothin's too bold
To change my body
I must change my mind
If I'm kind to Fortune
She must be, in kind!
Talkin' to people
Talkin' so slow
Talkin' to hide what I don't wanna know
Talkin' so high
It's makin' me low
But talkin's a sign that there's nowhere to go
'Cause I'm still new
And it's gettin' old
When nothin's forever
Nothin's foretold
'Cause if I lose my body
And I lose my mind
Then I'm tied to Fortune
And she ain't too kind
