Something Wicked (single)

about

"Something Wicked " is a single from our forthcoming third LP. It's a Midwestern Gothic tune which looks back at the joys/terrors of an adolescence experienced in a conservative household.

Major points of influence here include Ray Bradbury, Talking Heads, and The Pixies. The whole band is present and tuned-into the vibe.

lyrics

(v1)
And you now remember,
you were twelve years old
when you first heard it calling!
Like a long steam-train
in the late late night
as the leaves started falling!
And the softness of her skin
as you held her close --
Said you'd be with her always!
-- And then the frost blew in,
And what heaven knows
can't help heal your heartache!

(chorus)
Don't matter which way you run,
something wicked this way comes.
Bodies, they undress for bed,
words whispered by lips of red.
They're watching you through the fence!
The veil of your innocence!
The silk from the spider, spun.
Something wicked this way comes!

(v2)
Were you all alone?
Was it on a Sunday?
The sound of you crying
brought your mom upstairs,
but what could she know
of living and dying?
The body, the bread,
the blood in the cup,
the sin and the savior!
And the guilt you'll feel
for the wordless joy
of Animal Nature!

(repeat chorus)
