Wicked Little Town Lyrics
You know, the sun is in your eyes
And hurricanes and rains
And black and cloudy skies
You're running up and down that hill
You turn it on and off at will
There's nothing here to thrill
Or bring you down
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise
Of this wicked little town
Oh Lady, luck has led you here
And they're so twisted up
They'll twist you up I fear
The pious, hateful and devout,
You're turning tricks 'til you're turned out,
The wind so cold it burns,
You're burning out and blowing round
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise
Of this wicked little town
The fates are vicious and they're cruel
You learn too late you've used two wishes like a fool
And then you're someone you are not,
And Junction City ain't the spot,
Remember Mrs. Lot
And when she turned around
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise
Of this wicked little town
And hurricanes and rains
And black and cloudy skies
You turn it on and off at will
There's nothing here to thrill
Or bring you down
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise
Of this wicked little town
And they're so twisted up
They'll twist you up I fear
You're turning tricks 'til you're turned out,
The wind so cold it burns,
You're burning out and blowing round
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise
Of this wicked little town
You learn too late you've used two wishes like a fool
And Junction City ain't the spot,
Remember Mrs. Lot
And when she turned around
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise
Of this wicked little town

First of all let me point out that this song is from the movie "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," which I've never seen but I've heard it's pretty good. Basically I think he's singing to someone who's in a bad place (geographically or a metaphorical place in life) and they're having to deal with a lot of stuff right now and possibly getting caught up in some bad things themself, and he's just saying, "Look, hang in there and you can get through it. I'm here for you if you need me." I especially like the references to "Lady Luck," the Fates, and Lot's wife from the Bible who was turned into a pillar of salt. Just a cool song.
