Wishing Well

(album: Strikes - 1979)

Take off your hat; kick off your shoes.
I know you ain't going anywhere.
Run 'round the town, singing your blues.
I know you ain't going anywhere.
You've always been a good friend of mine,
But you're always saying farewell.
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well.
Oh, yeah!
Throw down your gun or you might shoot yourself
Or is that what you're trying to do?
Put up a fight you believe to be right
And someday the sun will shine through.
You've always got something to hide;
Something you just can't tell.
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well.

But I know what you're wishing for:
Love in a peaceful world. Yeah!
Love in a peaceful world. Oh, yeah!
Love in a peaceful world.
Mmmmmmm
Na na na na na na na-na
Na na na na na na na

You've always been a good friend of mine,
But you're always saying farewell.
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well!
Oh! Yes! My God. Ow!
I wish you well
Oo-oo-ooh! The wishing well! Ow!
Everybody has a dream. Yeah, yeah!
Everybody has a wish
I wish you well! Ow!
Well, you dream your own time
