Mr. Bad Luck Lyrics - Asking For Forever - Lex Zaleta

While playing Captain Ahab, blacktop whaler, 

I met Moby Dick in a tractor trailer. 

He drifted across the double yellow line; 

I swerved and managed to miss him just in time. 

I came to a stop hanging off a steep cliff 

With one question dangling in my mind, "What if?" 

I took one look in my rearview mirror 

And let out a shout shrink-wrapped in fear, 

"Here comes bad luck and his wrecking crew!" 

He said, "That's Mr. Bad Luck to you!" 

They told me they wanted some big bucks for bail; 

I had no choice but to spend the night in jail. 

I made the most of my time there for a while, 

Counting every brick and every ceiling tile. 

I thought to myself, "Things are going quite well. 

I've got heat and lights and my own private cell." 

Then I took a larger look around, 

And I let out a high moaning sound, 

"Oh, no! Bad luck has found me here too!" 

He said, "That's Mr. Bad Luck to you!" 

I didn't know that getting run off the road 

Was a hanging offense in their penal code, 

But there I was with my neck inside a noose 

And there wasn't any way I could break loose. 

My head snapped forward and hit the steering wheel 

This hanging was a dream; the accident was real. 

No pain! I came through it all unhurt. 

"Not so!" cried the blood that stained my shirt. 

I screamed, "Curse you death; curse bad luck too!" 

He said, "That's Mr. Bad Luck to you!"
