Wicked Always Wins

"Wicked Always Wins" is a song performed by Zelena in ABC's Once Upon a Time musical episode, "The Song in Your Heart". It's the Wicked Witch of the West's solo number.
==Story==
Annoyed by the Singing Spell, the Evil Queen visits the imprisoned Rumplestiltskin. She attempts goading him into singing about how to undo the spell, but he simply laughs that Dark One's don't sing; equally annoyed with how she keeps coming to him every time she's in trouble, Rumple tells her to show him he picked the right witch to cast his Dark Curse.
Elsewhere, in the Land of Oz, Regina's older half-sister Zelena, the Wicked Witch of the West, has been spying on her. Hearing that Rumple is beginning to have second thoughts about choosing Regina over her, Zelena becomes affected by the Singing Spell and breaks into song. Singing about her joy at Regina's impending failure, Zelena terrorizes the munchkins. However, she then decides to take advantage of the situation, by sending Regina a gift to stop the Charmings; she crafts a box to seal away to spell, confident that once it's done she can reveal that it was her magic to Rumple and regain his favor.
==Lyrics==
Zelena: Finally, the moment I was hoping would come
The moment he would realize he chose the wrong one
There isn't any curse I could cast to match this feeling
The pain I knew when Rumple turned his back on my heart
At last will be Regina's when her life falls apart
Suddenly the future's looking more appealing
Once I was filled with rage
Now I enjoy the ride
It's so electrifying
watching all her dreams denied
Oh I will fly into tomorrow
My sister full of sorrow
Finally paying for her sins
I'll smile, all the while she is crying
Inside she's slowly dying
learning wicked always wins
Oh evil may be powerful
But wicked always wins
If mum could see me now, she would ache with regret
'cause she'd witness all the glory wickedness gets
She went and made Regina queen, and my blood boil
But that's all history
Time they all understood
What they call "green with envy"
I just call "looking good"
Oh I will fly into tomorrow (tomorrow)
My sister full of sorrow (full of sorrow)
Finally paying for her sins
No strife, her life was so enchanted (so enchanted)
She took it all for granted (for granted)
Now she'll dream of could-have-beens
Oh evil may be powerful
But wicked always (Wicked always)
Wait... Why just revel in her demise when I can use it to my advantage?
I'll give her a magic gift to bring the Charmings down
When Regina stands victorious, I'll swoop right into town
When he learns this spells was mine,
oh Rumple, he will see,
he should've chosen me (me)
So I will fly into tomorrow (tomorrow)
Delighting in her sorrow (sorrow)
As a better day begins
(It's a better day)
This time nobody's gonna stop me (stop me)
No evil's gonna top me (No evil's gonna top me)
Oh wicked always wins (Wicked always wins)
Her happy ending will be mine
'cause wicked always wins
Wicked always wins
==Trivia==
*This is the only flashback song to take place in Oz. The rest were shown in the Enchanted Forest.
*Not counting what Zelena was watching in her mirror, this is the only song to take place without any normal speaking in a flashback. Zelena sings for her entire scene.
*Had the Blue Fairy not erased the memories of the time the singing spell was in place, Zelena would have succeeded in proving herself worthier than Regina to Rumplestilktskin.
*The title of the song refers back Zelena's first line in Season Three of Once Upon a Time: "The Queen might be evil, but I'm wicked. And wicked always wins."
*According to her lyrics, Zelena seems to think she looks attractive with her green skin.
