Life’s got a wicked way

Of giving you every little thing you ever wanted

Life’s got such comic timing

Too little too late is just the name of the game

And everybody knows, it’s just the way it goes

You’ve got to do your best

To protect your interests

Life’s got an evil way

Of giving you every little thing you ever wanted

Each little passing fancy,

Dark and trance-y fantasy appears

And tho’ the moment’s gone, the fleeting wish moved on

It’s true, you can’t contest

That every curse comes blessed

Chant:

Life’s got a wicked way --

of taking every whim and making you pay for it

Watch your heart, watch your secret dreams --

you’re gonna find out, honey, what secret means

Come on baby make it hurt so good --

give me what I want instead of what I should

Take me, make me, it’s a bumpy ride --

but it’s a highway baby compared to what’s inside

Countermelody:

YOU’VE GOT everything you wanted, every little thing

YOU’VE GOT everything you wanted, don’t you dare complain

DON’T LOOK BACK you got to move on, with every little thing

KEEP YOUR SECRETS to yourself, and every little thing...

is gonna be alright.

And tho’ the moment’s gone, the fleeting wish moved on

It’s true, you can’t contest

That every curse comes blessed
