Lyrics
Flamingo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Luck (luck, luck), Runs (runs, runs), Out (out, out)
Crawling from the wreckage one more time
This map is tattered, can't free the signs
Though the body's rusted
Isn't hard to turn
On the path of destruction, feel it burn
Feel safe, in the danger
Feel good, in the bad
God! The burning, I've got the speed
Loose your turn, you crash and burn, you walk away
'Cause it ain't no good when there's nothing
Ain't no good when you can't go wrong
Crash and burn then you walk away
How many times can I hear you say
Ain't no good when there's nothing
Ain't no good when you can't go wrong, yeah
Luck, runs, out
You crawl back in, but your luck runs out
Luck (luck,luck), Runs (runs,runs), Out (out,out)
In love with my struggle
In love with my pain
Much needed to keep me down again
Don't allow myself to feel too good
Unworthy of me, couldn't if I could
Feel safe, in the danger
Feel good, in the bad
God! The burning, I've got the speed
Loose your turn, you crash and burn, you walk away
'Cause it ain't no good when there's nothing
Ain't no good when you can't go wrong
Crash and burn then you walk away
How many times can I hear you say
Ain't no good when there's nothing
Ain't no good when you can't go wrong, yeah
Luck, runs, out
You crawl back in, but your luck runs out
And you crawl back in
Deep in your obsession
Since you've crashed and burned
This is your confession
Ain't no good when there's nothing
Ain't no good when you can't go wrong
Crash and burn then you walk away
How many times can I hear you say
Ain't no good when there's nothing
Ain't no good when you can't go wrong, yeah
Luck, runs, out
You crawl back in, but your luck runs out
