Wicked Transmission
Words & Music J.P. Mesker

Lay me down lay me low lay me anyway you can
It feels so good I just don’t understand
How it got to this, and where it’s gonna go
That I just don’t know

I went down to the city, with them lights shining bright
She whispered in my ear: “Won’t you spend the night?”
I was way beyond redemption, severely magnetized
I looked her straight in the eye
I agreed to pay the price

There are certain things a man must require
If a peaceful life is what he desires
Something to ease his mind, a shelter from the storm
Porkchops & beans to eat, a fire to keep him warm

We tend to forget what we value the most
With a spark or a drop, it’s the same coast to coast
Mermaids start singing, hips start swinging
They will have their way
We are easy pray

I was struck by enchantment I swallowed it down
I danced in slowmotion ’till I fell to the ground
A wicked transmission took the upper hand on me
My will no longer free
