Lyrics

So Far No Luck


I made a wish upon a star as it fell to the ground
Found a little old well and threw my money down
I've got a horseshoe hanging above my door
I threw salt over my shoulder and it covered the floor
There's a rabbitt's foot dangling from my belt
And here's a four-leaf clover I discovered myself
Keep my fingers crossed while I'm knocking on wood
I'd walk backwards if I thought it would do any good

Now you might think I'm crazy for believing this stuff
But insanity is just another word for love
I'd gladly throw away every lucky charm
If I had you honey hanging on my arm
Been chasing my rainbows where lightnings struck
I'm doing everything I can but so far no luck

I haven't stepped on a crack in nearly seven years
I hate taking chances, don't go looking in mirrors
Don't walk under ladders `cause I heard that's bad
Turn right around if a black cat crosses my path
Never get up on the wrong side of the bed
And I wouldn't be caught speaking ill of the dead
My amulets ward off the evil eye
If the 13th's on Friday, I just stay inside

- CHORUS-

I need to find a little genie and set him free
Or a leprechaun to grant three wishes to me
I'd steal the Blarney Stone, and haul it off in my truck
I'm doing everything I can but so far no luck

Been chasing my rainbows getting' lightning struck
I'm doing everything I can but so far no luck
