The Gypsy dances in circles and beckons your ear

She knows your fancy, divines how to play to you fear

She's lost and she's lonesome and wounds everyone that she's near

But I love her just the same, wicked Calamity Jane



Sparkling eyes are so tender and so terrified

She bites you before you can love her, before you can even try

She's up and she's down and she'll leave you the second you fight

But I miss her just the same, wicked Calamity Jane



Come on, come out to the fire, the fire burns with or without you

Come on come out from the Alamo, you know it doesn't protect you

Hide in the shadows too long the whole world's gonna forget you

So lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down your gun



She stares at the ghosts because power can make you anything (well, many things)

She listens intently to voices that make her emotions sing

But she can't be that far gone, I'm not that far behind

No I can't be that far gone, she's not that far behind



Come on, come out to the fire, the fire burns with or without you

Come on come out from the Alamo, you know it doesn't protect you

Hide in the shadows too long the whole world's gonna forget you

So lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down your gun



The Gypsy dances in circles and beckons your ear

She knows your fancy, divines how to play to you fear

She's lost and she's lonesome and wounds everyone that she's near

But I love her just the same

Woah I miss her just the same

Yeah I know her just the same

Wicked Calamity Jane



Come on, come out to the fire, the fire burns with or without you

Come on come out from the Alamo, you know it doesn't protect you

Hide in the shadows too long the whole world's gonna forget you

So lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down your gun

Lay down, lay down, lay down

Lay down, lay down

Lay down your gun
