lyrics

Bad Luck Charm
As the undertaker for the county morgue
I seen all manner of things, make your hair turn gray
When my true love, the only girl I adored
Danced with the devil and he whisked her away
To see her lying there on that cold, hard slab
Was almost too much for this man to take
Grabbed my heart, punched it and gave it a stab
Nailed it to a cross with a railroad stake
And then SHE walked in, dropped off a cadaver
My mind set to sin, knew I had to have her
Sweet little succubui, morbid mate for the men who buy the farm But that’s my fate, ‘cause she’s my little bad luck charm
Now I look forward to days when lives are cut down
Tragic events bring my babe ‘round
The doors swing open, there’s my queen
Gives me a stiff, know what I mean
Just a luckless lover with career in macabre Thought it my destiny to never love again What I once enjoyed was now just a job Happiness eludes me on material plane Then I met her, inamorata taboo Femme fatale to fund my lease on life A heavenly creature with some hellish tattoos I’m her loving letch, she’ll be my wicked wife
And then SHE walked in, dropped off a cadaver
My mind turns to sin, knew I had to have her
Sweet little succubui, morbid mate for the men who buy the farm But that’s my fate, ‘cause she’s my little bad luck charm
The voodoo firl of mine, a devil in disguise Angel of mercy, evil eyes A fiery temper, smoking’ bod loves you to death, shovels the sod
My little bad luck charm
R Bell 9/19/07
