Running Out of Luck - Bad Lieutenant

What do you think you are proving, baby?

It’s not the way it should exist

It’s not the answer, baby

Don’t crush this flower with your fist

You could hold me with your mind

You could know me

But you can’t keep on losing

It’s so hard to say we’re running out of luck

It’s the dawn of an era, baby

You could get better

If you tried to recover, baby

Then I’d be right there by your side

Like your shadow

In your footsteps I would follow

Shoot it as straight as an arrow

Through a tree that was hollow as your heart

Why do careless hearts

Fall into empty hands

It’s a trend that starts

Then lies down in the sand

But it’s the only way

That I’ll get through to you

No matter what I say

You just do what you do

Why don’t you watch what you’re doing, baby

When all your dreams have turned to dust?

What’s the answer, baby

When you don’t know who you can trust?

Me, forever

Like a break in the weather

Like the snow on the ground

I am waiting but I can’t just stick around
