It's just as wicked as it seems
To just run out of dreams
The better of two evils, baby
It's one time too much
Baby, how can I say
What's in my heart, what's in my heart
Come a long way, well since you beat it up
It's wicked as it seems, yeah
Why don't you get, get all over me?
Yeah
Just a two way street,
But now it goes one way
And now for me
There's no way out
One time
Why don't you get, get all over me?
It's wicked as it seems, yeah
It's playtime but it's far too late
It's going too hard on, hard on it, hard on
it
What you're going to give
It's not enough, it's not enough for me
So I soften the blow
So the bruises don't show
I've got the expertise
No broken necks
No broken hearts
Well we used your deck
All I did was play the cards - and now the
check
Now I find it's not enough
It's not enough for me
What you want to give
It's not enough, it's not enough for me, yeah
It's wicked as it seems, yeah
Why don't you get, get all over me?
One time
Why don't you get, get all over me?
Why don't you get
It's easy getting in
But it's a hard way out, babe
TrackTalk
We tried all kinds of shakers and rattles, We spent a day trying rattling all kinds of different things that didn't work. I happened to have a walking stick from New Mexico which is a whole rattlesnake. The handle is it's head; the tip of the stick is the rattle. And that was the thing that worked.
