I opened up a door that I couldn't close back Bad luck and sorrow like a black heart attack I knew when I met you I couldn't let you go Don't wanna hurt you, but something you gotta know I ain't superstitious but I know somethings wrong Any luck I had it will soon be gone I'll be singing a sad, sad song... Take me to a place where my hands ain't so dirty Hide me in the shadow of loaded gun Take me to a land where the sun don't hurt me I beg for mercy cos my time's almost done Oh, bad things keep happening to me Bad things Bad things Every time I see you, it's another dark day Everyone we meet they got nothing kind to say I'm beginning to wonder what kind of deal that you made That brought this trouble, and left it here to stay I ain't superstitious but something ain't right I can't get my rest, and I can't sleep at night I can feel the rope pulling oh so tight Take me to a place where my hands ain't so dirty Hide me in the shadow of loaded gun Take me to a land where the sun don't hurt me I beg for mercy 'cos my time's almost done Oh, bad things keep happening to me Bad things Bad things Take me to a place where my hands ain't so dirty Hide me in the shadow of loaded gun Take me to a land where the sun don't hurt me I beg for mercy 'cos my time's almost done Oh, bad things keep happening to me
