Wicked Will

The Ettes Wicked Will Lyrics
1.Teeth

It sets me off to see the people
Always so easy to play
I'd rather keep my head down
Carry out the rest of my day

Somethin' 'bout the way that
People love their harm
I've got an eye for trouble
And that's what keeps me up in arms

You've got this thing about you
That keeps me on the edge of my seat
'Cause every time you smile
I can tell you're just showing your teeth

It bothers me to notice
But it sure seems you like that game
Surprises me every time
But really it's just the same

You handle everything and everyone
With that velvet glove
But when you take it off
I can see your skin is not enough

There's something there about you
Like an animal ready to feed
And every time you smile
I can tell you're just showing your teeth

Speak a little softer now
Or maybe just use your eyes
Pull her in around you
Using love as your disguise

There's danger in everything
You say and do
I guess we're not so different
And that's what makes me blue

The funny thing about it is
I know you got what I need
When every time you smile
I can tell you're just showing your teeth

Yeah, every time you smile I can tell


2.Excuse

I can't believe you keep comin' 'round
When it's so clear I just bring you down
You're all alone 'cause you choose to be
Please, don't pretend it's to do with me

You wanna be out
Away from your noose
You wanna be free and
You wanna be loose

You haven't the backbone
To handle the truth
I'm telling you, girl
You're just an excuse

I wonder what it's like to be you
Every day barely getting through
Mother's advice hanging by a thread
The world out here ain't what's in your head

You gather your lies
You make a great wall
You teeter atop it
And try not to fall

I tried to help you
But still you refuse
You've done it now girl
You're just an excuse, now

You wanna be out
Away from your noose
You wanna be free and
You wanna be loose

I wish there was something
I could do for you
Unfortunately
You're just an excuse


3.The Pendulum

You're a lot like me
And I think that you should tell her
That the only difference between us is fear

And if you are like me
Then I think you should remember
If you ever wanna get yourself outta here

Now all you think
You hide are open secrets
And the pendulum swings back and forth, my dear

Don't believe
Everything you hear
Gather all you cherish
And keep it quite near

I can be your friend
Or I just just go and break you
And I think you'd better make what you want clear

'Cause I'm not quite sure
How long it's gonna take you
If you really wanna get yourself outta here?


4.You Were There

Would you want me on fire?
Would it help you to see?
'Cause I can tell what it looks like
When you're talkin' to me

Were you ever a baby?
Were you ever a child?
'Cause I was ready, you were there
That was all

In you all I see is a skeleton
Your skin on blood, baby
Your blood on bone


5.My Heart

Well, you're not gonna break my heart
'Cause my heart ain't what I'm givin' to you
And I'm not gonna beg for yours
'Cause that's not what I am here to do

You're not faithful but you're true
And I don't know what to do
'Cause it never bothers me
When you're where you need to be
Oh no

I mean what do I expect
To put a rope around your neck
And just declare you property
Well babe, you know it isn't me
Oh no

And I can't just estimate
When it's gonna be too late
You do what you wanna do
And I'll just do the same thing too
Oh yes

And if we go our separate ways
I won't say we was too late
'Cause we never were on time
And babe, you never weren't mine
Oh no


6.You Never Say

Bet you never met yourself a little girl like me
Every single day it gets easier to believe
When I come at you your bones just fall apart
Give me your hand, let's make a new start

You never say
Just who you are
Let yourself go, my little girl
And you'll go far

Everything about you screams, I wanna disappear
But something keeps you around and that's why you're here
I'm not a stupid girl, I'm not your enemy
Get yourself together and then set yourself free


7.One By One

Sister, just give up your lies
Trust, I'm on your side
It might be a big surprise
But we've nothing to hide

'Cause I want what I want
Tonight
One by one
All right

Brother, just lay down your arms
I'm not here to fight
Long as we know what is wrong
Both of us are right


8.Trouble With You

When I find trouble
I always know just what to do
You can't count all the
Times I've found trouble next to you

I don't mind
Anytime
That kind of trouble with you

You'd think by now I'd
Have heard my lessons about you
No two ways about it
I still like the way you give bad news


9.Don't Bring Me Down

I got you in mind
But he's watchin' with his eye on me
Here tonight
Is the only place I want to be

I see how you are
And I'm pretty sure you've got what I need
Boy, don't bring me down

Do you feel the same?
I gotta know right now or else I
Start getting the shakes
Wonderin' what it is I can do try

To get you alone
And see what you and I can do tonight
Oh, don't bring me down

Are you bad like me
Or are you too good to follow me now
To be in your arms
Is the only thing keepin' me around

So don't be afraid
'Cause with me the secret's safe and it's sound
No, don't bring me down


10.Stay Where You Are

There was a time
When I would have jumped at
Anything you said

But you took too long
To pay attention
Now that dog is dead

Too late, too late
Old as the moon and stars
Too late, too late
Stay right where you are

You're the pebble in my shoe
I tell ya
You won't just let me be

So I just hide
And watch your face
While you're lookin' for me


11.I Stayed Too Late

Why are you up and leavin'
If you really want to say?
I can't give much more meaning
To what you do anyway

Stop begging your bosses
Stop begging your bliss
Stop begging everything just 'cause
You want more than this

This can't keep on going
What are we gonna do
I stayed too late last night
And so did you

It's the same old story
Oh, time and again
But what makes it so boring
Is you know how it ends


12.My Baby Cried All Night Longes


13.The Worst There Is

If I'm ever on your mind
It's a slow disease
Corrosive and behind
Closed doors you're on your knees

When you're the worst there is
There's nothing to fear
That's why you and I are here

Have you ever been afraid
Of all that couldn't be?
Just spending all your time
Pretending that you're free

I can offer some reprieve
But it won't cure your ill
So weigh out the little time
That you have before the kill
