Luck (Blues in my Pocket)

from Lamentations by Ian Taylor

/

lyrics

I was waiting on winter to come down,
waiting on spring to pray tell,
I was waiting so long I forgot where I was going
I was waiting on you, as well.
I was waiting on the corner of 3rd & 5th,
waiting around to get high,
was waiting so torn feel like I hadn't been born
& there wasn't any blue in the sky
so I gathered that it must be in my pocket
& I kept it there just for good luck
now when people see me they're either scared or bewared
& the other's they just want to fuck
but I just do my best to keep these drinks in my hand
& my hash pipe at the same time
all these women with their wine & these men in their ties
& these parties that they think are good times
cause I know I'll only end up strolling the roadside,
I know i'll be there whistling a tune,
know I'll be between something nice & mean
singing something about the blues.
