the clocks of the wall are evil in their design

our days of wine and song never came

and calendars mark the places we've never been

so call us the unlucky ones



we walk under ladders as a matter of course

jump on every crack we can find

thirteen a day if we get half a chance

so call us the unlucky ones



i know, i know you're dying to be free



come out and dance a while

out in the black cat infested night

we dance on ledges and spires

with losers and liars

we don't have a thing to fear



the thrill of it all is we've got nothing to lose

we drank our poison

paid all our dues

and twisted fate until we ripped it in two

so call us the unlucky ones



i know, i know you're dying to be free



come out and dance a while

out in the black cat infested night

we dance on ledges and spires

with losers and liars

we don't have a thing to fear



they call us the unlucky ones

your wandering daughters and sons

they call us the unlucky ones



come out and dance a while

out in the black cat infested night

we dance on ledges and spires

with losers and liars

we don't have a thing to fear



so say a prayer for us when you go to bed

the unlucky ones
