Vigilantes of Love
Good Luck Charm (Live at the Axiom)
[Spoken Intro]
This song's called "Good Luck Charm."
[Verse 1]
Yeah, just where did it start?
This breaking of your heart
Yeah, and where did it go south?
You're looking down in the mouth
Of a ride that had just begun when the lap bar came up
Yeah and sweetness, it was bone-dry
At the bottom of the cup
[Verse 2]
Yeah, death, she wears this strange perfume when you're traveling the white lines
Yeah, she stumbles in here under a different name almost every night
And we're all cracked and crumbling
Just like that old sidewalk
Yeah, and I suppose this must be the place
Where the walls went up
[Chorus]
Make your smile a different way to cry
When the truth that they've been selling you
Is just another fine lie
Yeah, the candles on the inside
They are flickering out
With the things they don't tell you about
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Can you hear the bell?
Can we hear the alarm?
Can you give away your life
Like a good luck charm?
This is where it started
Falling apart
Honey, this is where it started
This breaking of your heart
[Chorus]
Make your smile a different way to cry
When the truth that they've been selling you
Is just another fine lie
Yeah, the candles on the inside
They are flickering out
With the things they don't tell you about
Yeah, with the things they don't tell you about
Yeah, with the things they don't tell you
[Outro]
Yeah, the things they don't tell you about
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Spoken Outro]
Thanks a lot. Thanks very much.
