[00:01.46]The Airborne Toxic Event - Wishing Well
[00:13.04]
[00:51.24]Standing on a bus stop
[00:52.80]Feeling your head pop
[00:54.41]Out in the night
[00:55.63]On the kind of night
[00:57.15]Where you want to be out
[00:58.88]On the street, on the street
[01:00.62]Crawling up the walls
[01:01.73]Like a cat in heat
[01:03.57]
[01:03.80]And the air is thin
[01:05.06]And it blows through your skin
[01:06.63]And you feel like something
[01:08.09]Is about to begin
[01:09.90]But you don't know what
[01:11.31]And you don't know when
[01:12.76]So you tear at your hair
[01:14.36]And you scratch at your skin
[01:15.84]
[01:16.03]You wanna run away, run away
[01:19.11]Just get on the fucking train and leave today
[01:22.38]And it doesn't matter where you spend the night
[01:25.28]You just might end up somewhere in a fight, in a fight
[01:28.88]Or caught in your room on a concrete shelf
[01:31.90]Fighting all alone, with yourself, with yourself
[01:34.92]And you just wanna feel like a coin that's been tossed
[01:38.18]In a wishing well, a wishing well
[01:41.25]A wishing well, a wishing well
[01:44.20]Well, you're tossed in the air
[01:46.08]And you fell and you fell
[01:47.32]Through the dark blue waters
[01:48.92]Where you cast your spell
[01:50.65]Like you were just a wish that could turn out well
[01:55.81]
[02:18.24]So you stand on the corner
[02:19.80]Where the angels sit
[02:21.42]And you think to yourself,
[02:23.06]"This is it, this is it,
[02:24.56]This is all that I have
[02:26.45]All I can stand
[02:27.70]Is this air in my lungs
[02:29.25]And this coin in my hand
[02:30.84]That you tossed in the air
[02:32.43]And I fell, and I fell
[02:33.94]All the way to the bottom
[02:35.46]Of the well, of the well
[02:37.10]Like those soft little secrets
[02:38.92]That you tell, that you tell
[02:40.48]To yourself, when you think
[02:41.97]No one's listening to, well"
[02:44.52]
[02:44.77]And the walls spin
[02:45.35]And you're paper-thin
[02:46.59]From the haze of the smoke
[02:48.12]And the mescaline
[02:49.84]The threat of your brow
[02:51.33]Under unmade sheets
[02:52.84]In your ear with the noise
[02:54.47]From the darkest streets
[02:55.84]We ran far and wide
[02:57.46]You screamed, you cried
[02:58.94]You thought suicide was an alibi
[03:01.67]But you were always a mess
[03:03.79]You were always aloof
[03:05.15]Yeah, it's awful, I guess
[03:06.84]But it's the awful truth
[03:08.26]It was truth from the first
[03:10.18]To the last words that she read
[03:13.85]
[03:14.67]And she emerged from the dark
[03:16.30]Like a ghost in my head
[03:17.68]She said, "I haven't forgot
[03:19.35]Any words that you said
[03:20.85]I just stare at the clocks
[03:22.51]And I cry in my sleep
[03:24.20]And I tear up your letters
[03:25.81]And I burn them in heaps
[03:27.33]And I gather the ashes
[03:29.17]In that hole in the ground
[03:30.66]Where we fell"
