Trouble he will find you no matter where you go, oh oh
No matter if you're fast no matter if you're slow, oh oh
The eye of the storm or the cry in the mourn, oh oh
You're fine for a while but you start to lose control
He's there in the dark. He's there in my heart
He waits in the wings. He's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah, trouble is a friend of mine
Oh
