Good Fortune

PJ Harvey

Threw my bad fortune

Off the top of

A tall building

I'd rather have done it with you

Your boy's smile

Five in the morning

Looked into your eyes

And I was really in love



In Chinatown

Hung over

You showed me

Just what I could do

Talking about

Time travel

And the meaning

Just what it was worth



And I feel like

Some bird of paradise

My bad fortune slipping away

And I feel the innocence of a child

Everybody's got something good to say



Things I once thought

Unbelievable

In my life

Have all taken place

When we walked through

Little Italy

I saw my reflection

Come right off your face



I paint pictures

To remember

You're too beautiful

To put into words

Like a gypsy

You dance in circles

All around me

And all over the world



And I feel like

Some bird of paradise

My bad fortune slipping away

And I feel the innocence of a child

Everybody's got something good to say



And I feel like

Some bird of paradise

My bad fortune slipping away

And I feel the innocence of a child

Everybody's got something good to say



So I take my

Good fortune

And I fantasize

Of our leaving

Like some modern day

Gypsy landslide

Like some modern day

Bonnie and Clyde



On the run again

On the run again

On the run again

On the run again
