[Verse 1]
Looking for a savior
Looking for a sign
Walk between the raindrop
Til the floodgates open wide
Looking for an Angel
Or a hand from up on high
Sun rose on the hillside
Looked like hell fire in the sky

[Hook]
You better run away
(Oh)
Whoa
Wicked this way comes
(La!)
You better run away
You better run away
(Ooooo whoa)
Wicked this way comes
(Comes, comes, comes...)
(Whew!)
(Oh yeah!)
Wicked this way comes
(Oh)
Better run away
(Whew, no, yeah)
Wicked this way comes
(Comes, yeah)
You better run away
(Wicked, oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
We thought it was a holy war
It was just a lack of faith
The victory march: a solider sang
Rang out like acts of hate
It wasn't Heaven's only water:
Only acid rain
We thought that when the rain came down
Our sins would wash away
Would wash away (away, away, away...)
Wicked this way (this way, this way, this way...)
Wicked this way (this way, this way, this way...)
You gotta live your life!
(Whoa!)
(Oh yeah)
Whoa
(Oh)
(Hey!)
(Oh yeah)
(Yeah)
(Whew)

[Outro]
This way comes
Something wicked this way comes
We've been living this way
This way
Something wicked this way comes
(Comes, comes, comes...)
(Whoa, yeah!)
