[Intro]
It cursed us all on our way home
We passed the sights like passing stones

[Verse 1]
And I will never go back there again
The tourists and the army men
The prostitutes this evening
Will start to sink under my skin

[Chorus]
The dust and sand is what they sell
The flashing lights and ringing bells
Our wish is, far as I can tell
Inside this dried up wishing well

[Verse 2]
He is the shrieks, I am the fear
That yelling man rings in my ears
Out of his mind, he's my conscience
Hour after hour, pill after pill
He is my bellyache, I've taken so much medicine to kill

[Verse 3]
I know there's something wrong
'Cause this night just drags on and on
The clock still says it won't be long
Till all your hard earned money's gone
[Chorus]
The dust and sand is what they sell
The flashing lights and ringing bells
Our wish is, far as I can tell
Inside this dried up wishing well

[Verse 4]
I will never go back there again
The tourists and the army men
The prostitutes this evening
Will start to sink under my skin

[Chorus]
The dust and sand is what they sell
The flashing lights and ringing bells
Our wish is, far as I can tell
Inside this dried up wishing well
