Wicked Little Town (Tommy Gnosis Version) Lyrics
Forgive me,
For I did not know.
'Cause I was just a boy
And you were so much more
Than any god could ever plan,
More than a woman or a man.
And now I understand how much I took from you:
That, when everything starts breaking down,
You take the pieces off the ground
And show this wicked town
something beautiful and new.
You think that Luck
Has left you there.
But maybe there's nothing
up in the sky but air.
And there's no mystical design,
No cosmic lover preassigned.
There's nothing you can find
that can not be found.
'Cause with all the changes
you've been through
It seems the stranger's always you.
Alone again in some new
Wicked little town.
So when 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 it's a wicked, little town.
Goodbye, wicked little town.
For I did not know.
'Cause I was just a boy
And you were so much more
More than a woman or a man.
And now I understand how much I took from you:
That, when everything starts breaking down,
You take the pieces off the ground
And show this wicked town
something beautiful and new.
Has left you there.
But maybe there's nothing
up in the sky but air.
No cosmic lover preassigned.
There's nothing you can find
that can not be found.
'Cause with all the changes
you've been through
It seems the stranger's always you.
Alone again in some new
Wicked little town.
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise
Of this wicked little town.
Oh it's a wicked, little town.
Goodbye, wicked little town.
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
this is truly an excellent song i believe this song is about someone coping with another person that they love and their trying to describe the person. i feel that the person who is loved is misunderstood, doesn't believe in god, and is constantly on the move so they are unable to be comfortable and find it hard to connect
I think this song is the "second part" of a song by the same name, sung by Hedwig him/herself. Tommy is the misguided little youth who fell in love with Hedwig, and Tommy is the person that both defined destroyed Hedgwig in the process.
Also funny how Hedwig sings about the mythical idea of finding your other half, while this version sings about about the uselessness and futility into thinking such "hogwash".
