Lucky One Lyrics - Michael Penn

I'm sending out a call to arms 

from the cities to the farms 

to the sounding of alarms 

with all the bells and whistles 

took my prize, 

hung my plaque 

pat our big collective back 

and then got drunk 

on crackerjack 

and e-mailed my epistle 

I must be the lucky one 

the luckiest in Luckydom 

who reached the moon but 

wound up numb 

now that I've had my fun 

here comes the millennium 

Knowing love everyday 

my baby wants to be that way 

but I can't bring myself to say 

how I can't hope for crying 

things got bad, 

things got worse 

I got loaded in a hearse 

when all I needed was a nurse 

believe me, I'm not lying 

I must be the lucky one 

the luckiest in Luckydom 

who reached the moon but 

wound up numb 

now that I've had my fun 

here comes the millennium 

I must be the lucky one 

the luckiest in Luckydom 

who reached the moon but 

wound up numb 

let's call this party done 

here comes the millennium
