lyrics

I went to the wellspring
To take another sip
Behold the vice and see if I
Could pry its rusty grip
They didn't have a crowbar
So I used a little grease
Worked it all night
To derive some inner peace

Return to the wellspring
To check the lost and found
Pick through old belongings
And put them in the ground
The arcades were not open
I didn't have a friend
But an old coat that had been with me
Ever since time began

Stay away from the edge
Don't wade in the poison
Each drop has a reason
Stay away from the edge
Don't wait in line
Each drop holds the mystery of life

We met at the wellspring
To satisfy the proof
Shake it off and amputate
Last vestiges of youth
They didn't have an ashtray
So we used an old tin can
Smoke billowing over conversations
Never gonna end

Stay away from the edge
Don't wade in the poison
Each drop has a reason
Stay away from the edge
Don't wait in line
Each drop holds the mystery of life

A boat capsized immortalized
At the bottom of the ocean
What lies beneath remains unseen
Concealed from the surface

A boat capsized immortalized
At the bottom of the ocean
What lies beneath remains unseen
Concealed from the surface

Stay away from the edge
Don't wade in the poison
Each drop has a reason
Stay away from the edge
Don't wait in line
Each drop holds the mystery of life

Stay away from the edge
Don't wade in the poison
Each drop has a reason
Stay away from the edge
Don't wait in line
Each drop holds the mystery of life
