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
