How come the fickle finger of fate is the middle one? Am I crazy or cursed ---or am I snakebit?


SNAKEBIT
If only fools are getting caught in the rain, why’s it always raining on me?
If only fate weren’t the cause of the pain things would be so carefree.
Why’s the future falling apart? When did things go astray?
Were they ever even right from the start or was there any other way?

‘Cause I’m snakebit, I must admit
if it wasn’t for bad luck I’d have no luck at all.
Snakebit, a shoe that fits,
any good turn gets bowled by a wrecking ball.

More than half wrong on a toss, the coin just doesn’t fall for you.
Seven seems a preordained loss, the dice never coming through.
If it only came down to chance, very little left to choose
I’d bet against me in a flash and yet I’d still lose.

‘Cause I’m snakebit, I must admit
if it wasn’t for bad luck I’d have no luck at all.
Snakebit, a shoe that fits,
any good turn gets bowled by a wrecking ball.
Snakebit, I’m sure that’s it,
things always look up right before they fall.
Snakebit, I must admit
if it wasn’t for bad luck I’d have no luck at all

I was born under a blackened sun.
My days were cursed from the starting one.
A voodoo doll or a witch’s spell,
can’t get away yet, it knows me all too well.

If only fools are getting caught in the rain, why’s it always raining on me?
If only fate weren’t the cause of the pain things would be so carefree.

But I’m snakebit, I must admit
if it wasn’t for bad luck I’d have no luck at all.
Snakebit, a shoe that fits,
any good turn gets bowled by a wrecking ball.
Snakebit, I’m sure that’s it,
things always look up right before they fall.
Snakebit, I must admit
if it wasn’t for bad luck I’d have no luck at all.
