    Story Behind the Song
    This song is in 7/8 time (except for the bridge, which throws a wrench in the works), and was a challenge to work out.

    Lyrics
    Lightning showing up on the weather chart
    Good day to make a man of abandoned parts
    But in the rush to beat the rain
    They gave it a defective brain
    And so instead of doing good
    It terrorized the neighborhood
    And now they're burning the laboratory...

    Bad luck...good story.

    Forty-niner seventy-four years old
    Nothing to his name but a lust for gold
    Until he finds a vein of ore
    Five miles long or maybe more
    And so he raise a joyful sound
    And rattled all the walls on down
    And now he's working a dead man's quarry...

    Bad luck...good story.

    A pyramid that turns to sand
    Locust on a farmer's land
    Shadows in the dead of night
    A bloodstain on a field of white
    A winning bet that came up lame
    Snake-eyes to end the game
    A dealer with and extra ace
    A suitor with a crooked face.

    I was chatting with Lucifer the other day
    He said "A lot of people come and they always stay,
    And each one has a tale to tell
    Of how they don't belong in Hell.
    But none of 'em is as good as mine
    And how I lost my throne divine.
    And now I'm stranded in Purgatory..."

    Bad luck...good story.
