A Stroke of Luck Lyrics by Garbage

Garbage (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)

1995

[Verse 1]
Hangin' by threads of palest silver
I could've stayed that way forever
Bad blood and ghosts wrapped tight around me
Nothin' could ever seem to touch me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I lose what I love most
Did you know I was lost until you found me?
[Chorus 1]
A stroke of luck or a gift from God? Hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above? You came to me
Here comes the cold again, I feel it closin' in
It's fallin' down and all around me, fallin'
[Verse 2]
You say that you'll be there to catch me
Or will you only try to trap me?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
These are the rules I make
Our chains were meant to break, you'll never change me
[Chorus 2]
Here comes the cold again, I feel it closin' in
You're fallin' down and all around me, falling
Stroke of luck or a gift from God? Hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above? You come to me now
[Bridge]
Don't ask me why
Don't even try
[Chorus 1]
Stroke of luck or a gift from God? Hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above? You came to me
Here comes the cold again, I feel it closin' in
It's fallin' down and all around me, falling
[Outro]
Falling, falling
Falling, falling
Falling, falling
Falling, falling
Falling, falling
Falling
