Wishing Well Lyrics - The Guest - Phantom Planet

It cursed us all on our way home 

We passed the sights like passing stones 

And I will never go back there again 

The tourists and the army men 

The prostitutes this evening 

Will start to sink under my skin 

The dust and sand is what they sell 

The flashing lights and ringing bells 

A wish as far as I can tell 

Inside this dried up wishing well 

He is the shrieks, I am the fear 

That yellin' man rings in my ears 

Out of his mind, he's my conscience 

Hour after hour, pill after pill 

He is my bellyache 

I've taken so much medicine to kill 

I know there's something wrong 

'Cause this night just drags on and on 

The clock still says it won't be long 

'Til all your hard earned money's gone 

The dust and sand is what they sell 

The flashin' lights and ringin' bells 

A wish as far as I can tell 

Inside this dried up wishing well 

And I will never go back there again 

The tourists and the army men 

The prostitutes this evening 

Will start to sink under my skin 

The dust and sand is what they sell 

The flashin' lights and ringin' bells 

A wish as far as I can tell 

Inside this dried up wishing well
