Lyrics

Life&rsquo;s got a wicked way <br />
Of giving you every little thing you ever wanted<br />
Life&rsquo;s got such comic timing<br />
Too little too late is just the name of the game<br />
<br />
And everybody knows, it&rsquo;s just the way it goes<br />
You&rsquo;ve got to do your best . . . To protect your interests<br />
<br />
Life&rsquo;s got an evil way <br />
Of giving you every little thing you ever wanted<br />
Each little passing fancy, <br />
Dark and trance-y fantasy appears<br />
<br />
And tho&rsquo; the moment&rsquo;s gone, the fleeting wish moved on<br />
It&rsquo;s true, you can&rsquo;t contest . . . That every curse comes blessed<br />
<br />
Chant: <br />
Life&rsquo;s got a wicked way -- <br />
of taking every whim and making you pay for it<br />
Watch your heart, watch your secret dreams -- <br />
you&rsquo;re gonna find out, honey, what secret means<br />
Come on baby make it hurt so good -- <br />
give me what I want instead of what I should<br />
Take me, make me, it&rsquo;s a bumpy ride -- <br />
but it&rsquo;s a highway baby compared to what&rsquo;s inside <br />
<br />
Countermelody: <br />
YOU&rsquo;VE GOT everything you wanted, every little thing<br />
YOU&rsquo;VE GOT everything you wanted, don&rsquo;t you dare complain<br />
DON&rsquo;T LOOK BACK you got to move on, with every little thing<br />
KEEP YOUR SECRETS to yourself, and every little thing... <br />
is gonna be alright.<br />
<br />
And tho&rsquo; the moment&rsquo;s gone, the fleeting wish moved on<br />
It&rsquo;s true, you can&rsquo;t contest . . . <br />
That every curse comes blessed.<br />
<br />
