Five For Fighting - The Devil In The Wishing Well Lyrics
I met Jane at the center of the earthIt was dark there was dirt all aroundBut I gather you can figure thatJane says I’m you’re body in the nightAnd I’ll lead you where you might find yourselfBetter if you followSo go right you’ll be left at a big hotelYou’ll meet the devil at the bottom of a whishing wellYou know you better give him somethingGive him something goodLike everybody else he’s misunderstoodJane says it’s a long way out…I’m gonna make it outCause I’m about herJane says, you’re as holy as a ghostBut who loves you the most, if you offerI might let you carry meJane there’s nobody here but yourselfIn the end it’s the wealth of your spiritNow hurry up get on with itI went left I got right at some big hotelThere was a devil at the bottom of the wishing wellHe said you better give me somethingGive me something goodLike everybody else I’m misunderstoodJane says it’s a long way outI’m gonna make it outCause I’m aboutJane says it’s a long way outI’m gonna make it outI took a guess and cut a portion out of my heartHe said that’s nowhere close enough but it’s a dman good startI wrote the secret that I buried on the wishing well wallHe said I’ve seen one…it follows that I’ve seen them allWe spoke of human destination in a perfect worldDerived the nature of the universe (found it unfulfilled)As I took him in my arms he screamed I’m not insaneI’m just looking for someone to understand my pain..It’s a long way out…I’m gonna make it out
