Good Luck Charm

muskrat placing bets on the phone
wagering that I'd end up alone
shadow people couldn't kill my fight
from dark skies came a guiding light

the raven tossing speckled dice
smiling a cynical smile
says you can run from me
but you'll never win

(chorus) when I feel like I just can't win
                     you keep on pulling me in
                     holding you tightly in my heart
                     you're my good luck charm

old toad eating my 4 leaf clover
thinking it's all over
didn't know the ace in my hand
didn't know me at all

(Instrumental)
(chorus)

when the odds stack up against the wall
and I'm feeling a little small
you give me that look
and it all begins

(chorus) to end
