Lucky 13 (abandoned) Songtext
von The Smashing Pumpkins

New in town with a made up name in the angel city
Chasing fortune and fame
And the camera flashes, make it look like a dream
You had it figured out since you were in school
Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool
So overnight you look like a sixties′ queen

Another name goes up in lights, like diamonds in the sky

And they'll tell you now, you′re the lucky one
Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one
But can you tell me now, you′re the lucky one

Now it′s big black cars, and riviera views
And your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you
And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page

And they tell you that you′re lucky
But you're so confused
Cause you don′t feel pretty, you just feel used
And all the young things line up to take your place


Another name goes up in lights
You wonder if you'll make it out alive

And they′ll tell you now, you're the lucky one
Yeah, they'll tell you now, you′re the lucky one
Can you tell me now, you′re the lucky one, oh, oh, oh

It was a few years later, I showed up here
And they still tell the legend of how you disappeared
How you took the money and your dignity
And got the hell out
They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere
Chose the rose garden over madison square
And it took some time, but I understand it now

'Cause now my name is up in lights
But I think you got it right

Let me tell you now, you′re the lucky one
Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one
Let me tell you now, you′re the lucky one, oh, oh, oh


And they'll tell you now, you′re the lucky one
Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one
And they′ll tell you now, you′re the lucky one, oh, oh, oh
Oh, whoa, oh, oh
