Used to be Lucky

Written by Jakob Dylan
Performed by The Wallflowers

Mine is a sunshine kind of a valentine
But sometimes I still don't feel even worth a dime
But it used to be different
Before I'd been laughing

You've got a heart so you know how it feels
When you can't move at the top of a Ferris wheel
But I used to keep trying
But it always felt like dying

So Sad, everything has gone bad
When the dreams I've had
They all laugh at what I have
Oh no, tell me that it ain't true
When I wake I'm still me and I wish I could once be you
I used to be lucky
'till I spent some time with me

(If) Losing is amusing
Man get a load of me
You see me falling in love with the guillotine
It used to be funny
to think you would think of me

I wish I could just take all my things and leave
But I'm falling down in the wheels of this machine
But it used to be something
To be nowhere with nothing

So Sad, everything has gone bad
When the dreams I've had
They all laugh at what I have
Oh no, tell me that it ain't true
When I wake I'm still me and I wish I could once be you
I used to be lucky
'till I spent some time with me

So Sad, everything has gone bad
When the dreams I've had
They all laugh at what I have
Oh no, tell me that it ain't true
When I wake I'm still me and I wish I could once be you
I used to be lucky
'till I spent some time with me
