There's something wicked in the cellar There's something wicked on the stairs There's something wicked in the mirror But no one in this household cares There's something wicked on the doorstep There's something wicked in the wings There's something wicked in the spotlight And this is how wicked sings ... It's not in the flesh you'll find poison It's down in the pips if you swallow too much Salvation's in moderation But it's not, so they say, in the touch You can't fall from grace with one little taste Believe me I've already tried From the juice on my lips To the curve of my hips I promise you, babe, it's no lie Chorus I've heard that they call me a serpent The mother of demons and kind A dragon, a raven, a nightmare They've never quite made up their minds Oh I've got a wingspan and sure I've got claws I know how to get things done I can see in the dark where I practice my arts This is how wicked comes So let's weigh the pros and the cons here Oh that's right, you can't You don't know who you are You have all the proper potential But that alone won't get you far If you wanna see What you'll otherwise be Your eyes, they've got to be clear You've been created to sate not be sated Just who is the enemy here? Chorus There's something wicked in your mind dear There's something wicked in your heart There's something wicked in us all That keeps us from breaking apart There's something wicked in defiance There's something wicked in control There's something wicked in awareness That we are queens of our souls Chorus There's something wicked on the doorstep There's something wicked in the wings There's something wicked in the spotlight This is how wicked sings Something Wicked This way comes
