Bad Luck — U. D. O.

I have to tell a story - about a man Never in the mood - to change his life Nobody wants to help him - as he spirals down But one day the wrong decision - hit him overnight

No more cocktail parties - champagne's run dry No company take-overs - stock markets high No more hand-jobs in the boardroom - sex is history And no saunas, no jacuzzis - the penalties you'll reap

At last he realized - he did it wrong Messed big time everywhere - double-dealing lies

He's going down on his bad luck - his just deserts He's going down on his bad luck - what he deserved

His old man told him always - listen son It's a two-way street to fortune - you gotta hit and run Don't forget the mirror - look who's behind And don't you come up crying - when it's faster coming down

At last he realized - he did it wrong Messed big time everywhere - double-dealing lies

He's going down on his bad luck - his just deserts He's going down on his bad luck - what he deserved He's going down on his bad luck - it's his time He's going down on his bad luck - can't rewind

Do you get the story - you know this man Have you learned a lesson - do you understand When all you got is crystal - you shouldn't cast a stone So be careful when you go up - 'cause you'll meet them coming down

He's going down on his bad luck - his just deserts He's going down on his bad luck - what he deserved He's going down on his bad luck - it's his time He's going down on his bad luck - can't rewind
