the clocks of the wall are evil in their design
our days of wine and song never came
and calendars mark the places we\'ve never been
so call us the unlucky ones

we walk under ladders as a matter of course
jump on every crack we can find
thirteen a day if we get half a chance
so call us the unlucky ones

i know, i know you\'re dying to be free

come out and dance a while
out in the black cat infested night
we dance on ledges and spires
with losers and liars
we don\'t have a thing to fear

the thrill of it all is we\'ve got nothing to lose
we drank our poison
paid all our dues
and twisted fate until we ripped it in two
so call us the unlucky ones

i know, i know you\'re dying to be free

come out and dance a while
out in the black cat infested night
we dance on ledges and spires
with losers and liars
we don\'t have a thing to fear

they call us the unlucky ones
your wandering daughters and sons
they call us the unlucky ones

come out and dance a while
out in the black cat infested night
we dance on ledges and spires
with losers and liars
we don\'t have a thing to fear

so say a prayer for us when you go to bed
the unlucky ones
