The Devil in the Wishing Well

作曲 : John Ondrasik

作词 : John Ondrasik

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'll be left at a big hotel

You'll meet the devil at the bottom of a wishing well

You said 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

Jane says it's a long way out

I'm gonna make it out

Gonna make it out, 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

It's a long way out...

I'm gonna make it out

It's a long it's a long way out...

I'm gonna make it out
