I walked in like the one, tin soldier
My knees buckled when I got the cold shoulder
In their hands were the die that they were rollin'
And their fate in the breath that they were holdin'
Lady Luck's left the building tonight
I cross my fingers and I dart my eyes
Bartender shakes his head and sighs
They say what goes around will come around
You know they always lie
'Cause
Bad karma's gonna eat you alive
The world's chaos' favorite place to dine
It's all for one and none for you, 'cause it's mine
From where it comes or where it goes
No one can tell but time
You came to me on a cold December
How many years ago? I don't remember
I was naive and you were a great pretender
Disguised three times but the same white lies
Lady Luck's left the building tonight
Howlin' wind, the void's callin,' alright
Roulette heart, anyone want a bite?
I can't seem to shake this masochistic vice
Bad karma's gonna find me alive
Barely breathin,' just tryin' to survive
You hit me once, ooo, twice when I'm down
Bad karma's still waitin' for me
Hangin' around
You know karma doesn't always work like you think it should
I'd give you all a taste of your own medicine if I could
You play your cards with stable intentions
You play them fair without apprehension
And just when you think you're off the hook
Disillusionment turns to grim outlook
Lady Luck's not a savior for saints
That's why this woman doesn't hesitate
And if karma could talk
Had just a slip of the tongue
He'd tell you why the evil age and why the good die young
'Cause
Bad karma's just a corner away
Run and hide, it's comin' any day
It's a pull of the straws, it's a random, a chance
Bad karma's gonna get you in its scarlet glance
