The Well
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hey, it is your boy
Hey, it is your girl
Hey, it is your everyone
Standing in a line, showing cards, taking numbers
Standing in a line, one-way stride to the ocean
To the ocean
Hey, he is a lady
Hey, she is a man
Just like anyone
Watching waters rise, taking flights to the ozone
Kiss them both goodbye
Babies all gotta leave sometime
I am driving dirty
Bugs busting
Dead deer all around me
Disgusting!
What would I have to lose to pull over
I would rather be someone and watch the world burn
Look past the clouds to the stars and the asteroids
Swirling nebulae
Crashing rocks
Passing over
I pray we both collide
So when we die no one can blame us
I am driving dirty
Tanks guzzling
Greasy tires squealing
Guts are sloshing
Greasy tires squealing
Disgusting!
What would I have to lose to pull over
I would rather be someone and watch the world burn
The well is empty
We'll dig another ten feet
You will see there is plenty
To last till our kid is twenty
The well is empty
We'll dig ten more feet
You'll see there's plenty
You'll see it's empty
The well is empty
Let's dig ten more feet
I'm going to lay back down
Hey, where is your girl
Hey, where is your boy
Hey, where is your everyone
Left this place behind, one-way stride to the ozone
Let us remember when we slipped in to the ocean
