    And if you're feeling lucky... come and take me home And if you feel loved If you feel lucky, if you feel loved If you feel lucky, if you feel loved You've crossed the walls - Excelled Further along through their hell All for my heart, I watch you kill You always have, you always will Now spread your wings and sail out to me....
