WICKED WOMAN

If you come to my city
you are bound to find
my name in the roster
of wicked women
I have all that it takes
to be as wicked
as they come
I have a goblet
brimming over
in my hand
My laughter is known
for its abandon
Flames find a home
in my mouth
My hear beats and
every nerve does
a little dance
The road is at my feet
And just the sky above
I have the courage to bear
and express myself without fear

My laughter is known

Flames find a home
in my mouth
My hear beats and
every nerve does

The road is at my feet
And just the sky above
I have the courage to bear
and express myself without fear

My hear beats and
every nerve does

The road is at my feet
And just the sky above
I have the courage to bear
and express myself without fear
