lirik lagu seanan mcguire - wicked girls saving ourselves
[vocals by seanan mcguire and mich-lle “vixy” dockrey:]
[verse:]
wendy played fair, and she played by the rules that they gave her;
they say she grew up and grew old—peter pan couldn’t save her
they say she went home, and she never looked back
got her feet on the ground, got her life on its track
she’s the patron saint priestess of all the lost girls who got found
and she once had her head in the clouds, but she died on the ground
[verse:]
dorothy just wanted somethin’ that she could believe in
a gray dustbowl girl in a life she was better off leavin’…
she made her escape, went from gray into green
she coulda got clear, and she coulda got clean
but she chose to be good and go back to that gray kansas sky
where color’s a fable and freedom’s a fairy tale lie
[chorus:]
dorothy, alice and wendy and jane
susan and lucy, we’re calling your names
all the lost girls who came out of the rain
and chose to go back on the shelf
tinker bell says, and i find i agree
you have to break rules if you want to break free
so do as you like—we’re determined to be
wicked girls saving ourselves
[verse:]
alice got lost, and i guess that we really can’t blame her;
they say she got tangled and tied in the lies that became her…
they say she went mad, and she never complained
for there’s peace of a kind in a life unconstrained
she gives cheshirely kisses, she’s easy with white rabbit smiles
and she’ll never be free, but she’s won herself safe for a while
[verse:]
susan and lucy were queens, and they ruled well and proudly
they honored their lord and their land, rang the bells long and loudly
and they never once asked to go back to their lives
to be children and chattel and mothers and wives
but the land cast them out in a lesson that only one learned;
and one queen said, “i am not a toy!”, and she never returned
[chorus:]
dorothy, alice and wendy and jane
susan and lucy, we’re calling your names
all the lost girls who came out of the rain
and chose to go back on the shelf
tinker bell says, and i find i agree
you have to break rules if you want to break free
so do as you like—we’re determined to be
wicked girls saving ourselves
[verse:]
mandy’s a pirate, and mia weaves silk shrouds for faeries
deborah will pour you red wine pressed from sweet poisoned berries
kate poses riddles and mary plays tricks
while kaia builds towers from brambles and sticks
and the rules that we live by are simple and clear:
be wicked and lovely and don’t live in fear —
[chorus:]
dorothy, alice and wendy and jane
susan and lucy, we’re calling your names
all the lost girls who came out of the rain
and chose to go back on the shelf
so do as you like—we’re determined to be
wicked girls saving ourselves
[bridge/outro:]
for we will be wicked and we will be fair
and they’ll call us such names, and we really won’t care
so go tell your wendys, your susans, your janes
there’s a place they can go if they’re tired of chains
and our roads may be golden, or broken, or lost
but we’ll walk on them willingly, knowing the cost
we won’t take our place on the shelves
it’s better to fly and it’s better to die
say the wicked girls saving ourselves
we’re wicked girls saving ourselves
