When the Worst Doesn’t Happen

When the worst doesn’t happen, that’s good luck
When it does, you best not complain
Because I’ve spent some time at rock bottom, you see
There’s always room to get even lower, my friends

Just a little bit lower, my friends
You can always get lower, my friends
When the worst doesn’t happen, that’s called ‘Good Luck’
And when it does, well, you best not [complain]

Well, somewhere a [millionaire] heart is dreaming
Just dreaming of gasoline
Like Icarus escaping from the labyrinth

And it’s over before it begins

I've seen the road, its cruel, twisted and cold
And it seems like it's over before it begins
