Wick'd World
Lyrics From the LP "The War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness", 2017



Oh yeah
Listen here my butterfly
The lions are not standing by
But waiting for me descend
I'm paitent and I'm waiting
While the den is in a frenzy
Don't you see what you're doin' here?


You frolic and you flutter by
Beat your wings for other guys
Save it for the last dance
Pucker up and hold hands
I'm just gettin' private time
Like I'm gettin' every night
Didn't really wanna' fight
Better yet, it's alright


'Cause I know
It's a wick'd world
It's a wick'd world, I swear

Yes I know
It's a wick'd world
It's a wick'd world,
Out there.

Listen here my Guinevere
You scatter when the footsteps are
Approaching from the other side
I guess it looks like I 'aint here
Better not to bother
Might as well just be on my own.


Oh, you make it look so innocent
Like I don't know where you just been
Get a bit defensive
Like the boys' attention
And I don't have to mention
Any single one guy
Didn't really wanna' fight
Better yet, it's alright.


'Cause I know
It's a wick'd world
It's a wick'd world, I swear

Yes I know
It's a wick'd world
It's a wick'd world,
Out there.


I guess it's just good medicine
How to live with women
I'm watching and I'm learnin'
While the belly's burnin'
Guess it's only good for me
Better learn to live with the wolves.


Oh,
To see you runnin' way from me
Skirt-tail dancing in the wind
Dodging through the thirsty crowd
All the way down Houston
I followed you, you laughed at me
Just to hang out with my friends
Started to begin again
Stayed until the Bitter End.


'Cause I know
It's a wick'd world
It's a wick'd world, I swear

Yes I know
It's a wick'd world
It's a wick'd world,
Out there.


I guess it's just good medicine
How to live with women
I'm watching and I'm learnin'
While the belly's burnin'
Guess it's only good for me
It's time I learn to live with the wolves.

It's time I learn to live with the wolves.
