Lyrics
"Wishing Well" by Ed Englerth
There's a hole - goes straight to hell
Little's known - n' less is said
Some treat that thing - like a wishing well
They drop their money - know where it fell
They scurry around - n' worry n' fret
They jump into - that wishing well
Been round for years - like a strange hotel
No furniture - just an empty shell
there's always a vacancy - at the wishing well
yea there's a vacancy at the wishing well
they put old Dan - in a prison cell
gave him a toilet - and a rusty bed
he dreams all night - 'bout that wishing well
hear the voices speak (WHAT?) it's hard to tell
they seem to be asking - who will be next
I think they're invitations - to the wishing well
Yea, they're invitations to that wishing well
