\nOpening Day in baseball’s done,
\n161 games left to go on.
\nAnd I wish the Red Sox had won,
\nbut one game lost don’t mean that we’re done.
\nOne game done and hope abounds
\nand i’m already hearing World Series sounds.
\n161 games to break some curse,
\n161 games to not think the worst.<\/p>\n
\nKeep going on and on
\nPop fly, so high
\nKeep going on and on
\n161

\nDon’t believe in hexes I guess.
\nIs that a ghost floating over Fenway Park?
\nA Babe Ruth in the Boston dark?
\nThe myth that feeds fatalism
\nand gives a bad rap to optimism.
\nThere are no ghosts if we don’t make them,
\nThere are no ghosts if we cannot shake them off.<\/p>\n
\nKeep going on and on
\nPop fly, so high
\nKeep going on and on
\n161, 161<\/p>\n
\nI said don’t call it a curse.
\nThe curse excuses losses away,
\nthe curse relies on hyjinx and bologna.
\nWe need a win, a path to agree on–
\nlike the Citgo sign a beacon in orange neon.
\nExorcise supposed ghosts.
\n161 games to just let them go.<\/p>\n
\nKeep going on and on
\nPop fly, so high,
\nlet it be a home run
\n161<\/p>\n
\nI’m gonna marry Nomar!
\nNomar, Nomar
\nNo more (curses), No more (curses)
