Days Like These
Lyrics © 2005 Joel Shulkin (BMI), All Rights Reserved
VERSE:
Does it seem that for you every light turns red?
And you wish that you never crawled out of bed?
When you find a four-leaf clover,
Do you get bee stings over and over?
And does the horseshoe over your door fall onto your head?
CHORUS:
Well, it’s DAYS LIKE THESE,
When nothing’s going right.
And it’s times like these,
When there’s just no end in sight.
When your back’s against the wall,
And there’s no one you can call,
Don’t think things can’t get worse, ‘cuz they just might.
VERSE:
Does your alarm always ring forty minutes too late?
And do you realize your fly was down through the entire date?
Do you get splinters when you knock on wood?
Do falling stars crash into your hood?
And does your lucky seven horse drop dead at the gate?
CHORUS:
Well, it’s DAYS LIKE THESE,
When nothing’s going right.
And it’s times like these,
When there’s just no end in sight.
When you’re locked outside your house,
With no shoes, no pants, no blouse,
Don’t think things can’t get worse, ‘cuz they just might.
BRIDGE:
When you’re feeling cursed,
You can bet something will make it worse.
If you lift your chin,
You won’t notice the smell of what you’re so deep in…
CHORUS:
Well, it’s DAYS LIKE THESE,
When nothing’s going right.
And it’s times like these,
When there’s just no end in sight.
When your situation’s dire,
And you’re hanging by a wire.
When you’re caught in a quagmire,
And you’re ready to retire.
When you’re thrown into the fire,
And the flames burn higher and higher,
Don’t think things can’t get worse…’cuz they just might!
