In the furthest dive from nowhere
I took my life off track
Confronted by an ancient man
A lipstick demon on his back
He grabbed me with his leather claws
And he stared into my soul
And he said you're too proud to be wise, son
But you're too stupid to grow old he said
He said
He said
He said I'll tell you a little story bout the wicked witch of wonder
Bout the wicked witch of wonder
Bout the wicked witch of wonder
Bout the wicked witch of wonder
Hell, no, don't let her take my soul
He said those wedding bells and her hair of fire
It tied his tongue in prison chains
And broke him with desire
How could a woman with innocence and beauty too
Break the soul of a poor young boy
When she said I do
He said
He said
He said
He said I'll tell you a little story bout the wicked witch of wonder
Bout the wicked witch of wonder
Bout the wicked witch of wonder
Bout the wicked witch of wonder
Hell, no, don't let her take my soul
And he leaned in with his dead blue eyes
And he asked me with his lizard lips
Son why are you surprised
I responded like a cautious child
Who is this wicked witch?
You ain't never seen a man so terrified
Like a dog he was ready to quit
He wouldn't vocalize the answer
But he told me with his eyes
I've seen so many things my son
But your mother is who I truly despise
Bout the wicked witch of wonder
Bout the wicked witch of wonder
Bout the wicked witch of wonder
Hell, no, don't let her take my soul
