The sign says cheap gasoline
I can't afford the sale
My new shoes are wearing out
My luck has run away
I work everyday at this dead end job
On this dead end street
On this dead end block

So I wait
For the day
To come
When I hit the ground running
And I'll wait
And I'll waste
Away

It's too late for tomorrow
Everyday keeps slipping away
I bet my life on tomorrow
But I keep coming up yesterday

The signs says life lottery
I never miss a game
Paradise never calls asking me my name
I work everyday and it's all for naught
I won't walk away cause it's all I got

It's not my fault life's a mystery
My lady luck I wish you'd marry me
But I fell in love with pain and misery
Oh, lady luck, we could make history
