Description
Lady Luck tells how our life plans are inextricably tied to luck and good fortune, even in the face of things negative and frightening. The song speaks of how when in the face of a great storm, holding onto the idea that your greater life plan (or destiny or ‘design’) will indeed steer you through any adversity, no matter how daunting. Even though this path may be unclear, the luck and ‘design’ of our lives will always guide us, stressing the need for us to have faith in chance and destiny.
Lyrics
Take the quiet road out of town tonight, Brace the storm that growls and hold on tight, Grow up to find a peace of mind a story you design. If you dream you’ll jump right to it, faster than adults might do it, All the while you’re feeling two step, Coming through the ozone layer, smoking, boozing makes you safer, feel the punch or feel it later, Time will bend and trace back for you, round and round its clock will serve you, be here now, your luck adores you. With some time, you’ll make your mind up, Choice is yours I hope you sign up, that you feel don’t give it headspace, your bones are strong and will find their place, Time is short and quick to trip up, all your plans you thought you’d make up. Dream with fire and be courageous! Sights and sounds will make you famous, Love and jokes will come to save us, Time will bend and trace back for you, round and round its clock will serve you, be here now your luck adores you. Come, to your window, sweet lady luck of our lives, Take your hand in mine, speak soft and low and in good time, tell me signs of a world I’ll find, Give me words or signs of hope, anything to help me cope, Forward thoughts without no trope, hanging by a splitting rope, The ones to change she says to me, are hard and fast, work by decree, the cold men who govern our lives, fuel our tanks, invade our minds, FIGHT THESE HAWKS and bring them down, teach them grace or fill the ground, with yourself and all you love, goodness gone, chocked and drowned. RISE UP NOW, your time is short, the battle-plain is stretched and taught, the move you make tells all who see, YOU CAN BE WHO YOU WANT TO BE!
