1. THE LUCKY ONE

Payback is overdue
So much for my I.O.U.
My head is stuck underneath God's thumb
I guess that makes me the lucky one

Stupidity is a constant trend
Murphy and I have become best friends
Hooray for dreams gone before they've come
Hooray for me I'm the lucky one

I am the lucky one
I am a comedian
The jokes on me, I'm the lucky one

A sinking ship, holes in my lifeboat
I'm sorry for choking but I've got a wishbone stuck in my throat
I never thought this could be such fun
Hooray for me I'm the lucky one

I tried to jump straight through the suck
Headfirst but now my ?? ??? head is stuck
I'm feeling like a stupid schmuck
Lucky for me I don't believe in luck
Thank God I don't believe in luck

Rusted linings on my black clouds
It's raining piss, will somebody tell me what's that all about?
Wish on a Blackstar until it comes
It's here for me, I'm the lucky one

I am the lucky one
I am only human
I guess that makes me the lucky one



2. TAINTED

It's not a question of why and if she'll make it
It’s more a question of when and how she'll take it
Standing out there alone completely naked
Another secret’s been kept and left her tainted

There's nothing more she can do to make them change it
She does the best that she can to rearrange it
There's still the question of how she’s grown so tainted
A tattered canvas unfurls, watch as they paint it

She fought them bravely until defenses caved in
Pressing their teeth to her neck until she gave in
Now there’s no question this girl is well acquainted
With suffering in a world that’s left her tainted

Slowly fading and decaying
Please ignore what they’re saying

She’s at the edge of the world
She’s there standing alone
She’s the loneliest girl
And now She finally feels like she’s coming home

She’s just done what she’s been told
Her heart is turning to stone
Here at the end of this girl
This Time She finally feels like she’s coming home
