He's been wearing the happy face
It's for his own sake
Yeah they're still not awake
They're still not up to date
Yeah he's down in his bad luck
He's been stuck in a rut
He imagines who will take his place
Reenacting his bad luck again
Gradually they're not gonna wait
For it ain't quite the perfect fate
But he's gotta react before they can say
Before he's beneath a shallow grave
Yeah he's down in his bad luck
He's been stuck in a rut
He was found face down half dead
Reenacting his bad luck over and over again
(Oh! Again and again!)
