Overview

"There's a Lucky One" was recorded in 1999. The song was among hundreds of Cuomo's demos leaked online in November of 2020, and was later released as part of the digital compilation Alone VI: The Black Room in 2020.

The song "There's a Lucky One" featured in Alone VI bears Catalog O' Riffs entry number 15. However, the copy of the Catalog O' Riffs made available on riverscuomo.com in 2002 lists the song title "Boston" as #15, with a song titled "Lucky One" listed as entry B-12 from 1997. It is unknown if the three titles represent two or three distinct songs.

Lyrics

There's a lucky one
Suckin' on her thumb
Walking in the street
Feeling kinda dumb
There's a broken heart
On the open road
Dreaming in the dark
Feeling like a toad

And I don't

There's a lucky one
Suckin' on her thumb
And walking in the street
Feeling kinda dumb
There's a broken heart
On the open road
Dreaming in the dark
Feeling like a toad

And I don't
And I don't
And I don't
And I don't
