The Devil in the Wishing Well Lyrics

[00:00.01] I met Jane at the center of the earth
[00:04.69] It was dark there was dirt all around
[00:08.00] But I gather you can figure that
[00:13.33] And Jane says, I'm your body in the night
[00:19.02] And I'll lead you where you might find yourself
[00:22.64] Better if you follow me
[00:27.21] So go right you'll be left at a big hotel
[00:31.00] You'll meet the devil at the bottom of a wishing well
[00:35.18] You know you better give him something
[00:36.76] Give him something good
[00:38.61] Like everybody else he's misunderstood
[00:43.66] Jane says, it's a long way out
[00:48.58] But I'm gonna make it out
[00:51.08] 'Cause I'm about her
[00:56.05] See Jane says, you're as holy as a ghost
[01:00.08] But who loves you the most, if you offer
[01:03.82] I might let you carry me
[01:09.99] And Jane there's nobody here but yourself
[01:13.70] In the end it's the wealth of your spirit
[01:18.41] Now hurry up get on with it
[01:20.47] I went left, I got right at some big hotel
[01:27.22] There was a devil at the bottom of the wishing well
[01:30.53] He said, you better give me something
[01:32.88] Give me something good
[01:34.37] Like everybody else I'm misunderstood
[01:40.12] Jane says, it's a long way out
[01:44.48] I'm gonna make it out
[01:47.05] 'Cause I'm about
[01:48.79] Jane says, it's a long way out
[01:52.26] I'm gonna make it out
[01:55.25] I'm gonna make it out
[01:57.00] I'm gonna make it out
[02:26.47] I took a guess and cut a portion out of my heart
[02:30.53] He said that's nowhere close enough but it's a damn good start
[02:34.26] I wrote the secret that I buried on the wishing well wall
[02:37.60] He said, I've seen one it follows that I've seen them all
[02:41.04] We spoke of human destination in a perfect world
[02:44.47] Derived the nature of the universe found it unfulfilled
[02:48.02] As I took him in my arms he screamed, I'm not insane
[02:51.39] I'm just looking for someone to understand my pain
[02:57.79] It's a long way out
[03:01.55] I'm gonna make it out
[03:06.45] It's a long way out
[03:10.42] I'm gonna make it out
[03:12.65] It's a long, it's a long way out
[03:15.81] I'm gonna make it out
