Lyrics: Good Fortune
Album: Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

Threw my bad fortune
Of the top of
A tall building
I’d rather have done it with you
Your boy’s smile
Five in the morning
Looked into your eyes
And i was really in love

In chinatown
Hung over
You showed me
Just what i could do
Talking about
Time travel
And the meaning
Just what it was worth

And i feel like
Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune slipping away
And i feel the
Innocence of a child
Everybody’s got something good to say

Things i once thought
Unbelievable
In my life
Have all taken place
When we walked through
Little italy
I saw my reflection
Come right of your face

I paint pictures
To remember
You’re too beautiful
To put into words
Like a gypsy
You dance in circles
All around me
And all over the world

And i feel like
Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune slipping away
And i feel the
Innocence of a child
Everybody’s got something good to say

So i take my
Good fortune
And i fantasize
Of our leaving
Like some modern-day
Gypsy landslide
Like some modern day
Bonnie and clyde

On the run again
On the run again
