Lyrics
Wishing 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.
In this land of accessories
The obsolescent sheen
Like so many fools before us
Lost in dreams
What's behind the curtain
The dinette or the stole
Such important choices
To satisfy the soul
Take it on down to the wishing well
Make a wish to stop your wishing
'Cause you just can't tell
Give it up
The power of suggestion
The tabloids and the tube
Muscles and money
Tits and glory
What's your story
Are we so unhappy
Being what we are
Sly told us a long time ago
Everybody is a star
Give it up
