Bad luck wind been blowin' on my back
I was born to bring trouble wherever I'm at
With the number '13' tattooed on my neck
That ink starts to itch
Black gon' turn to red
I was born in the soul of misery
And I never had me a name
They just give me a number when I was young
Got a long line of heartache
I carry it well
The list of lives I've broken
Reach from here to Hell
And a bad luck wind been blowin' on my back
Pray you don't look at me
And I pray I don't look back
I was born in the soul of misery
And I never had me a name
They just give me a number when I was young
Found me with a preacherman confessin' all I done
Catch me with the devil playing 21
And a bad luck wind been blowin' on my back
I was born to bring trouble wherever I'm at
I was born in the soul of misery
And I never had me a name
They just give me a number when I was young
I was born in the soul of misery
And I never had me a name
They just give me a number when I was young
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young
I was born to bring trouble wherever I'm at
With the number '13' tattooed on my neck
That ink starts to itch
Black gon' turn to red
And I never had me a name
They just give me a number when I was young
I carry it well
The list of lives I've broken
Reach from here to Hell
And a bad luck wind been blowin' on my back
Pray you don't look at me
And I pray I don't look back
And I never had me a name
They just give me a number when I was young
Catch me with the devil playing 21
And a bad luck wind been blowin' on my back
I was born to bring trouble wherever I'm at
And I never had me a name
They just give me a number when I was young
And I never had me a name
They just give me a number when I was young
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young

Actually, there is a fallen angel with the symbol on his neck and it's a 13. I think that's what this song is referencing. A guy with the 13 on his neck is demon. Lost his way. Damned.
another classic slow sad song by danzig he has an incredible way of writing lyrics i recommend everyone to get this song
It's about a person who is Bad Luck. He's had a hard life, and life's been hard with him. He may also be a bit more than human and got totally screwed up by having no one to help him figure out what or who he is.
actually this song Danzig wrote to give as a gift to Johnny Cash.
i have a tatoo dedicated to this song in some ways i relate to it
