Lyrics Speedy Ortiz – Lucky 88

Text:

I make a frown
I always wear it upside down
‘Cause life is carnage
I once was lost, but now I’m founded

And running away from my funerary date
Burning later, could you smile while you do it

I don’t care anymore
Swear I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore
Swear I don’t care anymore

I was born with a Lucky 88 on my door
Put down your last claim to fame for me, boy
(You keep me starving to get something better, starving)
(Keep me starving to get something, starving, starving)
Trying to work in this town
Without a silver spoon and foot in your mouth
You see that Lucky 88 on my door
(You keep me starving to get something better, starving)
(Keep me starving to get something, starving, starving)

One more time with reeling
You siphoned out the feeling
Can’t you act responsibly
You’re the sick pup who created me
Burn out and fade
I’ll convalesce you right into the grave

I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore
Swear I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore

I was born with a Lucky 88 on my door

Put down your last claim to fame for me, boy
(You keep me starving to get something better, starving)
(Keep me starving to get something, starving, starving)
‘Cause I was born in the cold-clouded heart of the storm
You see that Lucky 88 on the door
(You keep me starving to get something better, starving)
(Keep me starving to get something, starving, starving)

I was born with a Lucky 88 on the door
A Lucky 88 on my door
With a Lucky 88 on my door
A Lucky 88

Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
