Forgive me for I did not know

'cause I was just a boy

And you were so much more



Than any god could ever plan

More than a woman or a man

And now I understand

How much I took from you

That when everything starts breaking down

You take the pieces off the ground

And show this wicked town

Something beautiful and new



You think that luck has left you there

But maybe there's nothing

Up in the sky but air



And there's no mystical design

No cosmic lover preassigned

There's nothing you can find

That cannot be found

'cause, with all the changes you've been through

It seems the stranger's always you

Alone again in some new

Wicked little town



So when you've got no other choice

You know you can follow my voice

Through the dark turns and noise

Of this wicked little town

Oh, it's a wicked little town

Goodbye wicked little town
