Good Fortune
Original
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
Original
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
Original
My bad fortune slipping away And I feel the innocence of a child Everybody's got something good to say
Verse 4
Original
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
Original
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
Original
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
Original
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)
Original
On the run again (on the run again) On the run again (on the run again) On the run again (on the run again)
