Lucky Ball Chain — текст песни (they might be giants)

I lost my lucky ball & chain

Now shes four years gone

Just five feet tall and sick of me

And all my rattling on



She threw away her baby-doll

I held on to my pride

But I was young and foolish then

I feel old and foolish now



Confidentially --

She never called me baby-doll

Confidentially --

I never had much pride

But now I rock a bar stool

And I drink for two

Just pondering this time bomb in my mind



I lost my lucky ball & chain

Now shes four years gone

Just five feet tall and sick of me

And all my rattling on



She walked away from a happy man

I thought I was so cool

I just stood there whistling

"there goes the bride" as she walked out the door

"there goes the bride" as she walked out the door



I could shake my tiny fist

And swear I wasnt wrong

But whats the sense in arguing

When youre all alone?

Sure as you cant steer a train

You cant change your fate

And when she told me of that day

I knew Id lost my home



Confidentially --

I never told you of her charms

Confidentially --

We never had a home

But this railroad apartment

Was the perfect place

When shed sit and hold me in her arms



I lost my lucky ball & chain

Now shes four years gone

Just five feet tall and sick of me

And all my rattling on



She walked away from a happy man

I thought I was so cool

I just stood there whistling

"there goes the bride" as she walked out the door

"there goes the bride" as she walked out the door

"there goes the bride" as she walked out the door
