Lyrics

The Devil In The 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.

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
