lyrics

There's a wishing well and I'm a penny short. If I don't make a splash, If I don't make it count then I'll be bankrupt. There's a wedding bell and a rental tux. And a rice parade on your wedding day to avoid bad luck.

There is dumb-struck love. Like a slot machine. All the lights and bells will make you spend in spells 'till your wallet's clean. Now to the hotel bar. Onto a cheaper fling. We can experiment with new drugs, new sex, new anything.

Ellie, if your life is better would you tell me how you got so god-damn strong. Cause I've been off and on from song to song.

Alone with a cold meal and a press release. The diner speaks in the language of all the empty seats. To a new town, at a camping ground. With every breeze you can hear the chorus through the trees sing.
