Good Fortune
Threw my bad fortune off 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 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 off 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
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)
On the run again (on the run again)
On the run again (on the run again)
On the run again (on the run again)
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 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 off 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
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)
On the run again (on the run again)
On the run again (on the run again)
On the run again (on the run again)
