How Lucky You Are (aka Miss Peculiar) - Demo
When you speak, you speak to me
When you sleep, you sleep by me
When you wake, you wake with me
When you walk, you follow
Two steps behind in life
Shadows stalking, ever grasping
Sinking for a need
It wasn't love, it was the fix of
Never wanting me
Now I'm gone, you're tossing and you're turning
In your sleep
That's the name of the game, of the game, of the game
He'll cry, Miss Peculiar
You'll cry all the more, now I'm gone
I was the monkey on your back
Take a look at how lucky you are
When you speak, you speak to me
When you sleep, you sleep by me
When you wake, you wake with me
When you walk, you follow
Two steps behind
Cry, cry, Miss Peculiar
You'll cry all the more, now I'm gone
I was the monkey on your back
Take a look at how lucky you are
Some days on heaven, I will not deny
Probing the daylight cascading the skyline
Tripping and diving, and losing it all
Back came the nighttime living for more
Cry, cry, Miss Peculiar
You'll cry all the more, now I'm gone
I was the devil monkey on your back
Take a look at how lucky you are
When you speak, you speak to me
When you sleep, you sleep by me
When you wake, you wake with me
When you walk, you follow two steps behind
When you sleep, you sleep by me
When you wake, you wake with me
When you walk, you follow
Two steps behind in life
Shadows stalking, ever grasping
Sinking for a need
It wasn't love, it was the fix of
Never wanting me
Now I'm gone, you're tossing and you're turning
In your sleep
That's the name of the game, of the game, of the game
He'll cry, Miss Peculiar
You'll cry all the more, now I'm gone
I was the monkey on your back
Take a look at how lucky you are
When you speak, you speak to me
When you sleep, you sleep by me
When you wake, you wake with me
When you walk, you follow
Two steps behind
Cry, cry, Miss Peculiar
You'll cry all the more, now I'm gone
I was the monkey on your back
Take a look at how lucky you are
Some days on heaven, I will not deny
Probing the daylight cascading the skyline
Tripping and diving, and losing it all
Back came the nighttime living for more
Cry, cry, Miss Peculiar
You'll cry all the more, now I'm gone
I was the devil monkey on your back
Take a look at how lucky you are
When you speak, you speak to me
When you sleep, you sleep by me
When you wake, you wake with me
When you walk, you follow two steps behind
