Oingo Boingo
Better Luck Next Time
[Verse 1]
Black is for the nighttime
Preys upon the day
Red is for the blood that flows
Like rivers in our veins
Gray is for betrayal
What you did to me
White is for the blinding light
That I know I'll never see
Know I'll never see...
[Solo]
[Verse 2]
Found you in the gutter
You needed tenderness
I gave you everything I had
I gave you all my trust
Planned it out so neatly
Caught me in your trap
When I needed you the most
You stabbed me in the back
Stabbed me in the back..!
[Chorus]
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
If you do it once, there'll never be a second time!
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
Find somebody else; you're never gonna be mine!
[Post-Chorus]
How do you find the nerve
To lie right to my face?
How do you find the nerve?
[Solo]
[Verse 2]
Black is for the nighttime
Preys upon the day
Red is for the blood that flows
Like rivers in our veins
I try to find excuses
For what you did to me
Can't forget that burning rage
When I wake up thinking of your face
For the blinding sweetness of revenge
That I know I'll never see
Know I'll never see..!
[Chorus]
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
If you do it once, there'll never be a second time!
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
Find somebody else; you're never gonna be mine!
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
(Better luck, better luck!)
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
(Better luck, better luck!)
[Post-Chorus]
How do you find the nerve
To lie right to my face?
How did you find the nerve!?
[Outro]
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time!
(Better luck, better luck!)
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time!
(Better luck, better luck!)
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time!
(Better luck, better luck!)
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time!
(Better luck, better luck!)
