Good Fortune Lyrics
[00:07.89] Threw my bad fortune off the top of a tall building
[00:13.94] I'd rather have done it with you
[00:19.99] Your boy's smile
[00:21.54] Five in the morning
[00:23.54] Looked into your eyes and I was really in love
[00:31.59] In Chinatown, hung over
[00:35.20] You showed me just what I could do
[00:42.86] Talking about time travel and meaning
[00:48.24] Just what it was worth
[00:54.11] And I feel like some bird of paradise
[00:57.84] My bad fortune slipping away
[01:01.56] And I feel the innocence of a child
[01:05.56] Everybody's got something good to say
[01:17.35] Things I once thought unbelievable in my life
[01:22.60] Have all taken place
[01:28.56] When we walked through Little Italy
[01:32.20] I saw my reflection come right off your face
[01:39.89] I paint pictures to remember
[01:43.47] You're too beautiful to put into words
[01:51.38] Like a gypsy, you dance in circles all around me
[01:56.67] And all over the world
[02:02.83] And I feel like some bird of paradise
[02:06.53] My bad fortune slipping away
[02:10.28] And I feel the innocence of a child
[02:14.16] Everybody's got something good to say
[02:17.75] And I feel like some bird of paradise
[02:21.77] My bad fortune slipping away
[02:25.32] And I feel the innocence of a child
[02:29.27] Everybody's got something good to say
[02:33.53]
[02:40.89] So I take my good fortune
[02:44.56] And I fantasize of our leaving
[02:48.16] Like some modern-day gypsy landslide
[02:51.84] Like some modern day Bonnie and Clyde
[02:56.14] On the run again (on the run again)
[02:59.30] On the run again (on the run again)
[03:03.28] On the run again (on the run again)
[03:07.25] On the run again (on the run again)
[03:12.19]
[00:13.94] I'd rather have done it with you
[00:19.99] Your boy's smile
[00:21.54] Five in the morning
[00:23.54] Looked into your eyes and I was really in love
[00:31.59] In Chinatown, hung over
[00:35.20] You showed me just what I could do
[00:42.86] Talking about time travel and meaning
[00:48.24] Just what it was worth
[00:54.11] And I feel like some bird of paradise
[00:57.84] My bad fortune slipping away
[01:01.56] And I feel the innocence of a child
[01:05.56] Everybody's got something good to say
[01:17.35] Things I once thought unbelievable in my life
[01:22.60] Have all taken place
[01:28.56] When we walked through Little Italy

[02:10.28] And I feel the innocence of a child
[02:14.16] Everybody's got something good to say
[02:17.75] And I feel like some bird of paradise
[02:21.77] My bad fortune slipping away
[02:25.32] And I feel the innocence of a child
[02:29.27] Everybody's got something good to say
[02:33.53]
[02:40.89] So I take my good fortune
[02:44.56] And I fantasize of our leaving
[02:48.16] Like some modern-day gypsy landslide
[02:51.84] Like some modern day Bonnie and Clyde
[02:56.14] On the run again (on the run again)
[02:59.30] On the run again (on the run again)
[03:03.28] On the run again (on the run again)
[03:07.25] On the run again (on the run again)
[03:12.19]
