Intro w/ Intro Riff
Verse 1 w/ Verse Riff
I fucked up again
It's all my fault
So turn m around and face the wall.
Read me my rights and tell me I'm wrong.
Until it gets into my thick skull.
Verse 2 w/ Verse Riff
A slap on the wrist.
A stab in the back.
Torture me, I've been a bad boy.
Nail me to the cross until you have won.
I lost before I did any wrong.
Interlude w/ Intro Riff
Verse 3 w/ Verse Riff
I'm hexed with regrets and bad luck.
Keep your distance 'cause it's rubbing off.
Or you will be damned to spend your life in hell.
Or earth with me tangled at your feet.
Verse 4 w/ Verse Riff
You finally met your nemesis
disguised as your fatal long lost love.
So kiss it good bye until death do we part.
You fell for a jinx for crying out loud.
Interlude w/ Intro Riff
Chorus w/ Chorus Riff
I'm a jinx hanging around you.
