The Devil In The Wishing Well Lyrics

The Devil In The Wishing Well lyrics



I met Jane at the center of the earth 

It was dark there was dirt all around 

But I gather you can figure that 



Jane says I'm your body in the night 

And I'll lead you where you might find yourself 

Better if you follow me 



So go right you'll be left at a big hotel 

You'll meet the devil at the bottom of a wishing well 

You know you better give him something 

Give him something good 

Like everybody else he's misunderstood 



Jane says it's a long way out... 

I'm gonna make it out 

Cause I'm about her 



Jane says, you're as Holy as a ghost, 

But who loves you the most, if you offer 

I might let you carry me 



Jane there's nobody here but yourself 

In the end it's the wealth of your spirit 

Now hurry up get on with it 



I went left I got right at some big hotel 

There was a devil at the bottom of the wishing well 

He said you better give me something 

Give me something good 

Like everybody else I'm misunderstood 



Jane says it's a long way out 

I'm gonna make it out 

Cause I'm about 

Jane says it's a long way out 

I'm gonna make it out 



I took a guess and cut a portion out of my heart 

He said that's nowhere close enough but it's a damn good start 

I wrote the secret that I buried on the wishing well wall 

He said I've seen one... it follows that I've seen them all 

We spoke of human destination in a perfect world 

Derived the nature of the universe (found it unfulfilled) 

As I took him in my arms he screamed I'm not insane 

I'm just looking for someone to understand my pain... 



It's a long way out... 

I'm gonna make it out
