Bad Karma

I walked in like the one, tin soldier My knees buckled when I got the cold shoulder In their hands were the die that they were rollin' And their fate in the breath that they were holdin' Lady Luck's left the building tonight I cross my fingers and I dart my eyes Bartender shakes his head and sighs They say what goes around will come around You know they always lie 'Cause Bad karma's gonna eat you alive The world's chaos' favorite place to dine It's all for one and none for you, 'cause it's mine From where it comes or where it goes No one can tell but time You came to me on a cold December How many years ago? I don't remember I was naive and you were a great pretender Disguised three times but the same white lies Lady Luck's left the building tonight Howlin' wind, the void's callin,' alright Roulette heart, anyone want a bite? I can't seem to shake this masochistic vice Bad karma's gonna find me alive Barely breathin,' just tryin' to survive You hit me once, ooo, twice when I'm down Bad karma's still waitin' for me Hangin' around You know karma doesn't always work like you think it should I'd give you all a taste of your own medicine if I could You play your cards with stable intentions You play them fair without apprehension And just when you think you're off the hook Disillusionment turns to grim outlook Lady Luck's not a savior for saints That's why this woman doesn't hesitate And if karma could talk Had just a slip of the tongue He'd tell you why the evil age and why the good die young 'Cause Bad karma's just a corner away Run and hide, it's comin' any day It's a pull of the straws, it's a random, a chance Bad karma's gonna get you in its scarlet glance
