Hunger for a Way Out

The Noise Made By People

Long Was The Year

Light that candle… see who blows it out.

Black cat chillin’ on the windowsill,
Mirror cracked — yeah, time stands still.
Salt on the floor and the door won’t close,
I got a cold wind singin’ down my nose.

Every little sign got a funky sound,
Can’t tell if it’s fate or the bass gettin’ down.

Bad luck’s got rhythm tonight,
Tappin’ its heels in the pale moonlight.
If trouble’s a groove, I’m doin’ it right —
Bad luck’s got rhythm tonight.

Deck of cards dealt face-down wrong,
Seven’s gone missin’ from the gambler’s song.
Crossed two shadows on the same old street,
I heard my echo keepin’ beat for beat.

Every knockin’ ghost knows the one-two-three,
Playin’ percussion on my prophecy.

Bad luck’s got rhythm tonight,
Rollin’ the dice under flickerin’ light.
If the curse got funk, I might just bite —
Bad luck’s got rhythm tonight.

“Who’s knockin’?”
“You, baby, it’s you!”
“Who’s jinxed?”
That groove you threw!”
“Who’s countin’?”
“Not me — the signs all lie.”
“But the rhythm don’t ever die.”

Spilled my coffee in the shape of a cross,
Laugh so hard I forget the loss.
Moon in the mirror keeps winkin’ twice,
Guess even omens got good advice.

Bad luck’s got rhythm tonight,
Tappin’ its heels in the pale moonlight.
If the world’s off-beat, I’ll make it tight —
Bad luck’s got rhythm tonight.
(Repeat and fade: “Bad luck’s got rhythm… tonight…”)

Bad luck’s got rhythm tonight
