Bottomless Wishing Well

Pulled a scarf across my face
To try to breathe this dusty place
Haggled with a man a thousand times
Over a carpet made in Afghanistan

While you’re in Vegas in a posh hotel
Headed somewhere between Heaven and Hell

Took a bus from Kathmandu
To Fish Fin Mountain just for the view
Looked out across the Himalayan sky
I saw the universe in a grain of sand

And I’m on Vega in a fairy tale
Floating somewhere between Heaven and Hell
I’ve got nothing but my grace
And a bottomless wishing well

I have found a better place
I have found a better place

Nothing ventured; nothing gained
Could you please define insane?
1000 gods to teach me right from wrong
Or eternity waiting for another chance

While you’re in Vegas in a posh hotel
Headed somewhere between heaven and hell
I will take my chances
Here in the silence of my soul
And all the king’s horses
And all the king’s men
Could not bring me back to earth again

I have found a better place
I have found a better place

With nothing but my grace
Nothing but my grace
