Boy in the Well - Live in Dublin / 2005

[Verse 1]

Look at this, it's me walking away

Look at you drowning on display

Every time I've dropped by, I've tried to say

"The water is rising, you don't want to stay"

[Pre-Chorus]

It's that sinking feeling, you know what it's bringing on

You might as well say it

I see it, I feel it, this town is going wrong

It's turning away

[Chorus]

You wanted me to be someone that I could never be

My new friends are offering things I've never dreamed, yeah

It's beautiful, I'd like for them to take me on

[Verse 2]

The track mall gang went off on the Tennessee goth

A lunar moth, you chrysalis and flail

The water is rising, you try to rappel

A rousing cheer for the boy in the well

[Pre-Chorus]

It's that sinking feeling, you know what it's bringing on

You might as well say it

I see it, I feel it, this town is going wrong

It's turning away

[Chorus]

You wanted me to be someone that I could never be

My new friends are offering things I've never dreamed, yeah

It's beautiful, I'd like for them to take me on

[Verse 3]

Here is where I look back, here is where you fell

This is where I got up, shaking off my tail

This is where your rope trick started to look stale

A Greyhound pass for the boy in the well

[Pre-Chorus]

It's that sinking feeling, you know what it's bringing on

You might as well say it

I see it, I feel it, this town is going wrong

It's turning away

[Chorus]

You wanted me to be someone that I could never be

My new friends are offering things I've never dreamed

Yeah, it's beautiful, I'd like for them to take me on

[Chorus]

You wanted me to be something that I could never be

My new friends are offering things I've never dreamed, yeah

It's beautiful, I'd like for them to take me on
