Rick Wakeman
How Lucky You Are (aka Miss Perculiar)
[Chorus]
When you speak, you speak to me
When you sleep, you sleep by me
When you wake, you wake with me
When you walk, you follow two steps behind in life
[Verse 1]
Shadows stalking, ever grasping, sinking for a need
It wasn't love it was the fix of never wanting me
Now I'm gone, you're tossing and you turning in your sleep
That's the name of the game, of the game, of the game
[Pre-Chorus]
Cry, Miss Peculiar
You'll cry all the more now I'm gone
I was the monkey on your back
Take a look at how lucky you are
[Chorus]
When you speak, you speak to me
When you sleep, you sleep by me
When you wake, you wake with me
When you walk, you follow two steps behind
[Post-Chorus]
Cry, cry, Miss Peculiar
You'll cry all the more now I'm gone
I was the monkey on your back
Take a look at how lucky you are
[Verse 2]
Some days of heaven, I will not deny
Probing the daylight cascading the skyline
Tripping and diving and losing it all
Back came the night time living for more
[Pre-Chorus]
Cry, cry, Miss Peculiar
You'll cry all the more now I'm gone
I was the devil monkey on your back
Take a look at how lucky you are
[Chorus]
When you speak, you speak to me
When you sleep, you sleep by me
When you wake, you wake with me
When you walk, you follow two steps behind
