The Airborne Toxic Event lyrics : "Wishing Well"

Standing on a bus stop
Feeling your head pop
Out in the night

In the kind of night
Where you want to be out
On the street, on the street

Crawling up the walls
Like a cat in heat


And the air is thin
And it blows through your skin
And you feel like something

Is about to begin
But you don't know what
And you don't know when

So you tear at your hair
And you scratch at your skin


You wanna run away, run away
Just get on the $#&@ing
train and leave today

And it doesn't matter where
you spend the night
You just might end up

somewhere in a fight,
in a fight
Or calling your room on

a concrete shelf
Fighting all alone, with
yourself, with yourself

And you just wanna feel
like a coin that's been tossed
In a wishing well, a wishing well

A wishing well, a wishing well
Well you're tossed in the air
And you fell and you fell

Through the dark blue waters
Where you cast your spell
Like you were just a wish that

could turn out well

So you stand on the corner

Where the angels sit
And you think to yourself,
"This is it, this is it

This is all that I have
All I can stand
Is this air in my lungs

And this coin in my hand."
That you tossed in the air
And I fell, and I fell

All the way to the bottom
Of the well, of the well
Like those soft little secrets

That you tell, that you tell
To yourself when you think
No one's listening too well


And the walls spin
And you're paper-thin

From the haze of the smoke
And the mess calling
The threat of your brow

Under unmade sheets
In your ear with the noise
From the darkest streets

We ran far and wide
You screamed, you cried
You thought suicide was an alibi

But you were always a mess
You were always aloof
Yeah, it's awful, I guess

But it's the awful truth
It was truth from the first
To the last words that she read


And she emerged from the dark
Like a ghost in my head
She said, "I haven't forgot
Any words that you said

I just stare at the clocks
And I cry in my sleep
And I tear up your letters
And I burn them in heaps
And I gather the ashes

In that hole in the ground
Where we fell"
