Lucky Ball & Chain (Demo)
By: They Might Be Giants
Year: 1989

I lost my lucky ball and chain Now she's four years gone Just five feet tall and sick of me And all my rattling on

She threw away her baby-doll I held on to my pride But I was young and foolish then I feel old and foolish now

Confidentially She never called me baby-doll Confidentially I never called her girl But now I rock a bar stool And I drink for two Just pondering this time bomb in my mind

I lost my lucky ball and chain Now she's four years gone Just five feet tall and sick of me And all my rattling on

She walked away from a happy man I thought I was so cool I just stood there whistling "There goes the bride" as she walked out the door "There goes the bride" as she walked out the door

I could shake my tiny fist And swear I wasn't wrong But what's the sense in arguing When you're all alone? Sure as you can't steer a train You can't change your fate And when she told me off that day I knew I'd lost my home

Confidentially I never told you of her charms Confidentially We never had a home But this railroad apartment Was the perfect place When she'd sit and hold me in her arms

I lost my lucky ball and chain Now she's four years gone Just five feet tall and sick of me And all my rattling on

She walked away from a happy man I thought I was so cool I just stood there whistling "There goes the bride" as she walked out the door "There goes the bride" as she walked out the door "There goes the bride" as she walked out the door
