[Verse 1]

It's a kinda day, it's a kinda week, it's a kinda year (No)

When you cut and paste

When you're on your knees

When you're out of tears (Damn)


[Pre-Chorus]

Examine every scar, I'm auditing my karma

Something just ain't addin' up

It's close, but no cigar

I'm dancing in the dark

'Cause every light keeps shutting off


[Chorus]

I'm playing with bad luck (Oh)

And she doesn't give up (Oh)

Sinking her teeth into my dreams

Again and again, I get up again

I'm playing with bad luck (Oh)

But now it's just too much (Oh)

Sinking her teeth into my dreams

Again and again, I get up again


[Verse 2]

Goin' back in time

In my past life, I must've crossed the line (No)

Because otherwise, it would all be fine

Like a glass of wine


[Pre-Chorus]

Examine every scar, I'm auditing my karma

Something just ain't addin' up

It's close, but no cigar

I'm dancing in the dark

'Cause every light keeps shutting off


[Chorus]

I'm playing with bad luck (Oh)

And she doesn't give up (Oh)

Sinking her teeth into my dreams

Again and again, I get up again

I'm playing with bad luck (Oh)

But now it's just too much (Oh)

Sinking her teeth into my dreams

Again and again, I get up again


[Bridge]

Not so harmless, my darlin'

Alarming how you scar me

Waiting and praying, afraid of feeling safe

(Examine every scar, I'm auditing my karma)

Shake me, awake me

(Something just ain't addin' up)

And save me from this bad dream

(It's close, but no cigar, I'm dancing in the dark)

Fear setting in, oh my god, is it my fault?


[Chorus]

For playing with bad luck (Oh)

And she doesn't give up (Oh)

Sinking her teeth into my dreams

Again and again, I get up again

I'm playing with bad luck (Oh)

But now it's just too much (Oh)

Sinking her teeth into my dreams

Again and again, I get up again

I'm playing with bad luck (Oh)

And she doesn't give up (Oh)

Sinking her teeth into my dreams

Again and again, I get up again


[Outro]

I'm playing with bad luck (Oh)

And she doesn't give up (Oh)

Sinking her teeth into my dreams

Again and again, I get up again

(Eh, eh, eh)
