Wicked Calamity Jane

The gypsy dances in circles

and beckons your ears

She knows your fance

divines how to play to your fear

She’s lost and lonesome

and wounds everyone that she’s near

but I miss her just the same

Wicked Calamity Jane

Sparkling eyes are so tender

and so terrified

She bites you before you can love her

before you can even try

She’s up and she’s down

and she’ll leave you the second you fight

But I know her just the same

Wicked Calamity Jane

Come on, come out to the fire

the fire burns with our without you

Come on, come out from the alamo

you know it doesn’t protect you

Hide in the shadows too long

the whole world’s gonna forget you

So lay down, lay down, lay down

lay down your gun

She stares at the ghosts

because power can make you anything

she listens intently to voices that

make her emotions sing

She can’t be that far gone

I’m not that far behind

I can’t be that far gone

she’s not that far behind

Come on, come out to the fire

the fire burns with our without you

Come on, come out from the alamo

you know it doesn’t protect you

Hide in the shadows too long

the whole world’s gonna forget you

So lay down, lay down, lay down

lay down your gun
