I lost my luck
East of Eden
I came unstuck
And now IÂ’m pleading
With a begging cup
My luck ran out just east of Eden

Oh, I proved you right
IÂ’m a danger
The tom cat bites
Now IÂ’m a stranger
Howling through the night
CanÂ’t fight it, I know that IÂ’m a danger

By the skin of my teeth IÂ’ll be
Flying by the seat of my pants
Hanging on by my fingertips
Holding out for a second chance

IÂ’m so tired
Of being a failure
My fateÂ’s conspired
And left a trail
Of broken bones and stars
IÂ’m tired, donÂ’t let me be a failure

And when I sink
Would you man the lifeboat?
IÂ’m scared to think
YouÂ’d give me no hope
When I face the drink, IÂ’ll sink
Oh drag me on your lifeboat

By the skin of my teeth IÂ’ll be
Flying by the seat of my pants
Hanging on by my fingertips
Holding out for a second chance

But donÂ’t get my hopes up
DonÂ’t get my hopes up
DonÂ’t get my hopes up
Oh get my hopes up
DonÂ’t get my hopes up
Get my hopes up
DonÂ’t!

And donÂ’t get my hopes up
Oh get my hopes up
DonÂ’t get my hopes up
Get my hopes up
DonÂ’t get my hopes up

By the skin of my teeth IÂ’ll be
Flying by the seat of my pants
Hanging on by my fingertips
Holding out for a second chance
