Thirteen Lyrics by XIII

Salt

1994

[Verse 1]
I´m absolutely certain its got nothing to do
With anything i do at all
But I always seem to end up with the arrows pointing at me
And my back against the wall
Well I ain´t superstitious in any sense at all
But there´s exception to that rule
Bad luck comes with thirteen that I know it´s on my back
Thirteen stands for cruel

[Chorus]
Number thirteen is haunting me
Bad luck won´t leave me be
I isn´t me it´s thirteen you see
Bad luck won´t leave me be

[Verse 2]
You never know for certain if things will turn out right
When you've got thirteen on your back
You can´t be optimistic in your view son love and life
When you´ve got thirteen on your back
You never trust in luck when all your chips are down
When you've got thirteen on your back
When you´ve got thirteen on your back it is a thirteen on your back
Thirteen is carved in to your back

[Chorus]
Number thirteen is haunting me
Bad luck won´t leave me be
I isn´t me it´s thirteen you see
Bad luck won´t leave me be

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Nerves are getting tighter and you´re really getting tense
Saying luck don´t leave me now
Sweat is pouring out your´re losing all your grip
Praying luck don´t leave me now
You´re staring at the ruins kicking at the ashes
Screaming luck won´t you come back
Someday I´ll fall onto a chainsaw make the final scar
And I´ll have fourteen on my back

[Chorus]
Number thirteen is haunting me
Bad luck won´t leave me be
I isn´t me it´s thirteen you see
Bad luck won´t leave me be
