    Story Behind the Song
    Only users lose drugs -- but got em or not... they are my favorite (and most reliable) muse. This one was written during a very brief dip in sobriety. That didn't last. But the song did. I wrote it in about 3 hours. Well, 3 years and 3 hours, really... It was a breeze to record. Everyone was jammin - and of course, Richie Hayward came by to play some percussion for us (while lecturing us the whole time about how we can't party so hard on the road - between swigs of his tequila - and that we have to take care of ourselves... He has been about our biggest fan from the beginning, he's the reason Jimmy and I met, and I believe he understands this song as well as - all of the people who 'get' it. The one's who don't, well, I don't know how to explain the many uses of paper money (like rolling up a bill???) Yeah, most of you know what's up.

    Lyrics
    she bent her spoon like it was melting
    she had me
    she made the street shine
    a glamourpuss among the swine
    swingin like royalty
    the days got lost chasing nights like a thief
    it spilled the holy water down the bathroom sink
    my will to move became the secrets of my cell
    i begged for wisdom but time would only tell
    WICKED GIRL WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
    I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'VE BEEN
    BUT I KNOW WHERE I WANNA BE
    I MUST HAVE A PAST BUT I'VE LOST ALL MY MEMORIES
    TO A ROLLED UP DOLLAR BILL
    my house burned down put out like a cigarette
    coughing up smoke
    i got back on the road let it take me back home to the freakshow
    i never got too far from where i started from
    i never asked the right questions
    she left the answer in a vile by my bed
    i drank the wine and left the bread
    WICKED GIRL....
