Bad Luck

I have to tell a story – about a man Never in the mood – to change his life Nobody wants to help him – as he spirals down But one day the wrong decision – hit him overnight Yeah, yeah, yeah No more cocktail parties – champagne’s run dry No company take-overs – stock markets high No more hand-jobs in the boardroom – sex is history And no saunas, no Jacuzzis – the penalties you’ll reap (At last he realized) He did it wrong (Messed big time everywhere) Double-dealing lies (He’s going down on his bad luck) his just deserts (He’s going down on his bad luck) what he deserved Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah His old man told him always – listen son It’s a two-way street to fortune – you gotta hit and run Don’t forget the mirror – look who’s behind And don’t you come up crying – when it’s faster coming down (At last he realized) He did it wrong (Messed big time everywhere) Double-dealing lies (He’s going down on his bad luck) his just deserts (He’s going down on his bad luck) what he deserved (He’s going down on his bad luck) it’s his time (He’s going down on his bad luck) can’t rewind Do you get the story – you know this man Have you learned a lesson? Do you understand? When all you got is crystal – you shouldn’t cast a stone So be careful when you go up – ‘cause you’ll meet them coming down (He’s going down on his bad luck) his just deserts (He’s going down on his bad luck) what he deserved (He’s going down on his bad luck) it’s his time (He’s going down on his bad luck) can’t rewind
