Wicked Little Town

Lyrics

You know the sun is in your eyes

And hurricanes and rain

And black and cloudy skies

You're running up and down that hill

You turn it on and off at will

There's nothing here to thrill

Or bring you down

And if you've got no other choice

You know you can follow my voice

Through the dark turns and noise

Of this wicked little town

Oh Lady Luck has led you here

But they're so twisted up

They'll twist you up I fear

The pious, hateful, and devout

You're turning tricks till you're turned out

The wind so cold it burns

You're blowing out and burning 'round

And if you've got no other choice

You know you can follow my voice

Through the dark turns and noise

Of this wicked little town

The Fates are vicious and they're cruel

You learn too late you've used

Two wishes like a fool

And then you're someone you are not

And Junction City ain't the spot

Remember Mrs. Lot and

When she turned around

And when you've got no other choice

You know you can follow my voice

Through the dark turns and noise

Of this wicked little town
