lyrics

The wicked man
Loads up the poison in the caravan
The little children scurry away as quick as they can
Nobody stands a chance against the wicked man

The wicked man
Travels the Earth to carry out his evil plan
Though even the wicked man doesn't know why he began
And nobody would know better than the wicked man

The wicked man
Once upon a time had a wife named Marianne
And better than anyone else in the world, she could understand
The loveliness hidden within the wicked man

But Marianne
Never deserved the burden of opening wicked man
So taking their child into the wild, she ran
And ran and ran and ran--poor wicked man!

See him with his razor blades
His lollipops and daisies
London Bridge is falling
And the streets are full of crazies
Roses rise before our eyes
And all good children praise these

The wicked man
Will kill you if he sees you--that's the master plan
Or place you with the living in the caravan
The sad-faced servants of the wicked man

The wicked man
Will do things to you you cannot understand
Making you shiver and quiver beneath his wicked hand
Poor little plaything for the wicked man

See him smiling with his bloody jaws
His eyes are hungry
London's streets are burning
Set to blazing by the young breed
See him rise inside their eyes
He'll never set their tongues free

The wicked man
Knows you better than your father can
He's studied you forever, and he understands
All the ways that you resemble wicked man.

So remember, Stan:
Keep your head clean--eat your Raisin Bran
Do your chores and wash your hands
Or you'll fall under the command
Of the wicked man!

Pale People Missoula, montana

Missoula, MT’s worst-kept secret.
An eccentric piano-rock quartet with a varied oeuvre, from soft confessionals to howling rants about the lonely and insane.
Better than sex. Cheaper than therapy.
