Lyrics for The Well

Hey, it's your boy It's your girl It's your everyone Standing in a line, showing cards, taking numbers Standing in a line, one-way stride to the ocean To the ocean Hey, he's a lady She's a man Just like anyone Watching waters rise, taking flights to the ozone Kiss them both goodbye Babies all gotta leave sometime I'm driving dirty Bugs busting Dead deer all around me Disgusting What would I have to lose to pull over I'd rather be someone and watch the world burn Look past the clouds to the stars and the asteroids Swirling nebulae Crashing rocks Passing over I pray we both collide So when we die no one can blame us I'm driving dirty Tank's guzzling Greasy tires squealing Guts sloshing Greasy tires squealing Disgusting What would I have to lose to pull over I'd rather be someone and watch the world burn The well is empty We'll dig another ten feet You'll see there is plenty To last 'til our kid's twenty The well is empty Let's dig ten more feet You'll see there's plenty You'll see it's empty The well is empty Let's dig ten more feet I'm gonna lay back down Hey, where's your boy? Where's your girl? Where is everyone? Left this place behind, one-way stride to the ozone Hey, let's remember when we slipped into the ocean
