"Wicked Game" is a single by October Noir and Chris Isaak cover released on January 14, 2020. "Wicked Game" is the first song since guitarist Doug Lane and keyboardist Justin Thompson joined the band to complete the quartet along with frontman and vocalist Tom Noir and drummer Daniel Stickz Bryant. It is noted that this Chris Isaak cover was also produced by StereoType O Negative and uploaded to YouTube in 2016, but October Noir version is slower and doomier. All the words in the lyrics of this ON song is the same as it was by Chris Isaak and it's about refusing to fall in love due to the fear of heartbreak. One difference is that the final line 'Nobody loves no one' is repeated ten times in this version, compared to just one time in the original.
Lyrics[]
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you, with you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
What a wicked game to play to make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you
And I don't wanna fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't wanna fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I... (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
(This girl is only gonna break your heart)
Nobody loves no one
Nobody loves no one
Nobody loves no one
Nobody loves no one
Nobody loves no one
Nobody loves no one
Nobody loves no one
Nobody loves no one
Nobody loves no one
Nobody loves no one
