Are you feeling lucky tonight?

Here you are, this is the place your parents dreamt about
you're going to save the world, put away your silly doubts

​

step out of the swarm, think for yourself little bee
now, hold up your right hand, and repeat after me

​

you'll have your whole life, for the details you seek
just sign on the dotted line, the costume is free

​

doll with a scalpel
we'll dress you up in white
I hope you're a gambler
are you feeling lucky tonight?

​

Ready for your first flight? we're out of parachutes
but we know you'll manage, that's what heroes do

​

looks like you fell hard, this is how you'll learn
you wont have an armor, if you dont crash & burn

​

white coat mannequin
play your cards right
your chances look good
are you feeling lucky tonight?

​

And do not bother with the blood on the floor
you ought to know, there will be more
and if you're not careful, it could be yours
skirmishes are expected, we did promise you a war

​

if you're lucky enough, your cell phone won't bleep
and if you're really lucky, you'll catch a wink of sleep

​

find a comfy corner
but dont turn off the lights
keep some smokes & coffee handy
your luck's not in tonight

​

There are no mistakes here, there are only sins
some make it to the file, some only find the bin

​

it's such a pity mother gave you a heart of gold
hope you don't choke on it, & just do what you're told

​

pick your battles wisely
you don't have to put up a fight
go down easy, nice & slow
this is not your lucky night

​

But whatever you do
never cross some lines
invisible & everywhere
it's not easy being divine

​

you'll have that bad day eventually
moments you'll wish you could reset
but dont let the cracks show
there are things to help you forget

​

don't be so glum now, it's not all misery & strife
what's left of you, can have a fulfilling life

​

but it's so quiet right now
the mood seems just right
do you fancy a game?
are you feeling lucky tonight?
