Lyrics

I need a permanent disguise
Yeah some kind of safe haven to hide
And you know it makes me wonder
When the world keeps going under
Give me one more cigarette before I die
I never know what I'm thinkin'
Dumb luck
Down and out always sinkin'
Got nowhere to go when I'm drinkin'
God damn I gotta start livin'
I wanna go to a place I don't know
Where I can ease my trouble mind
Forget all the pain I thought I left so far behind
Now I wait to catch the morning sky
And then I wipe the mud from out my eyes
Can you show me something different
Is there anybody listenin'?
'Cause the same old day to day, it's getting dry
I never know what I'm thinkin'
Dumb luck
Down and out always sinkin'
Got nowhere to go when I'm drinkin'
God damn I gotta start livin'
I wanna go to a place I don't know
Where I can ease my trouble mind
Forget all the pain I left behind
I want to drown in the rain
Let it erase my memory
I wanna be somebody else in a place where I've never been before
I never know what I'm thinkin'
Dumb luck
Down and out always sinkin'
Got nowhere to go when I'm drinkin'
God damn I gotta start livin'
I wanna go to a place I don't know
Where I can ease my trouble mind
Forget all the pain I left behind
I want to drown in the rain
Let it erase my memory
I wanna be somebody else in a place where I've never been before
Dumb luck
Knock me to the bottom
Dumb luck
Drive me to the bottle
Dumb luck
Kick me as I wallow
Dumb luck
Leave me feelin' hollow, yeah
Dumb luck, Dumb luck
