The stars are crossed in lines I can't define
The world spins its rhythms rattles and rhymes

Sway to the music ne'er do well
Sing to me softly ne'er do well
but come to me slowly ne'er do well

With a steady hand I will hold my own
Without a map, I'll always find my home
Where the blessed are now cursed
And the cursed are now blessed
And the ones who fall in the middle
Take home all the rest

Sway to the music ne'er do well
Sing to me softly ne'er do well
but come to me slowly ne'er do well

Come on, come now, I've come undone
My heart beats to the cadence
Unraveled and unsung
But I've got a voice, and it screams hell

Sway to the music ne'er do well
Sing to me softly ne'er do well
but come to me slowly ne'er do well
My ne'er do well
