I Believe I Need Some Luck

Or maybe a dragon

My love life isn’t great, so I’d like some Irish luck, I’ve got a hole in my heart big enough for a truck, It’s hard to find someone so I’m feeling really stuck, If I can’t find forever, I’ll settle for a fuck.

The Year of the Dragon is supposed to be my year, Full of wealth and happiness, but minus any fear, The fire of my desire keeps my goals and vision clear, Success in career and love will always linger near.

Perhaps a dragon’s fortune mixed with some Irish luck, Will give me a Midas touch and bring a little cheer, If I don’t get a million, I’ll settle for a buck, I’ll use the dollar bill to wipe away lonely tears.
