Bob Mould - Wishing Well Lyrics
Wishing well runs wet and dryI wish for things i never hadSurrounds and wells up in my eyesThe screaming voice, it liesWishing well gets someone's attentionEvery wish you ever hadIn a day of nights, in the darkest of lightSits and cries, watch the liesCould you give me a wish if i tell you what i want?Will the price be no object?I wish for dreams of lightI live for wishing well surpriseDeepest light, the secret liesWishing well gives you all that you desireHomes and trains, and the greenest of plainsThat you ever happened uponThe silent wish, it calls you outCalls you out by nameLays upon the plain, on the mountain highCity lights, wish delightsWhat if the waters and wishes appear?Will the price be no object?I wish for dreams of lightI live for wishing well surpriseTwist and shape on the winding twineAround the spindle windsWish again, four times againFour wishes deep into the wellThere's a price to pay for a wish to come trueTrade a small piece of your lifeRoots in the soil, uprooting the soilMountain high, the mountain highThe wish is only to speak a kindKind of word, so benign absurdThe well, three wishes run dryWishing well is dryWhen no grass grows, the weeds run in lineWish three wishes, three wishes run dry
