Lyrics

LET'S BE LUCKY

What a mess

I gotta guess

That it's only getting worse

I plow ahead

The motor's dead

Or it's stuck in reverse

It's a bummer

But it's still summer

It would be a shame

To waste a day like this

Let's be lucky

Scraping by

Had to try

Anything for a buck

Climb out of bed

And look ahead

Sometimes you gotta make your own luck

Stomp and cheer

Well, I'm still here

And you're not gonna see me

Throw away a day like this

Let's be lucky

Let's be lucky

    Eels - The Deconstruction

    Eels’ find themselves flourishing once again, with E. looking outwards rather than inwards on ‘The Deconstruction’.
