Christian's Vibraharp solo is probably the highlight of this one.  This is a Bauhaus and Joy Division inspired number.  Instead of the joy of being "Lucky," it radiates the struggle to get there.

Somehow there was no connection  
I was turned away. 
I always lack direction 
don't know what to say. 
but sometime fate will smile on us all. 
 
Somehow I lost what I wanted  
thing all went to hell. 
I just can't get what I'm after. 
I miss the mark. 
but some day we must truly have our way. 
 
	I got lucky 
 
 
I dreamed I got what I wanted 
but I can't recall 
Just how I managed to win the  
things that I had. 
In dreams fate will smile on us all. 
 
I had a glimpse of good fortune 
held it for a day 
but when I turned around 
it had slipped away. 
If you don't hold tight dreams slip away. 
 
	I got lucky 
 
 
One day I got what I wanted 
finally came to me. 
I don't know how  
but I've held on. 
Sometime fate will smile on us all. 
 
	I got lucky
