wishing well

Christopher Cross

In this land of accessories
The obsolescent sheen
Like so many fools before us
Lost in dreams

What`s behind the curtain
The dinette or the stole
Such important choices
To satisfy the soul

Take it on down to the wishing well
Make a wish to stop your wishing
`Cause you just can`t tell
Give it up

The power of suggestion
The tabloids and the tube
Muscles and money
Tits and glory
What`s your story

Are we so unhappy
Being what we are
Sly told us a long time ago
Everybody is a star
Give it up
