lyrics

Have you ever, stolen from a wishing well?
Don’t you know, their dreams won’t come true.
Tiny pennies, at the bottom of a pond (that tell)
The secret wishes, of ‘people like me and you.’

Overwhelming images on a video screen,
Everything’s been shown, everything’s been seen.
Snatched from the point of emptiness in day,
And then cast aside, when your faith has gone away.

Have you ever, stole from a wishing well?
Nightmares in the spotlight, always come true.
But surface tension, always seems to hide,
The secret fears, of ‘people like me and you.’

Can you justify destruction, can you walk a barefoot mile?
Can you make love to the Devil, and never crack a smile?
Deception is important, so we won’t know whom to blame,
After time passes, all the EVIL looks the same.

Have you ever, stolen from a wishing well?
Don’t you know, their dreams won’t come true.
Tiny pennies, at the bottom of a pond (that tell)
The secret wishes, of ‘people like me and you.’

No, don’t take my dreams away,
From the wishing well: I watch you every day. . .
