Picking up bottle caps off the city sidewalks, and collecting pretty pennies in a jar. Rubbing copper faces for luck instead of simply looking up, She misses all the billboard love stapled to the sky above. Weaving through the concrete streets, dodging skyscrapers on tiptoe feet, she's just blowing in the breeze - sleep, wake up, repeat. She's a windy thing, herself, she's an angel raising hell with the scent of midnight cigarettes. She's a nightmare in a burning dress. She's an empty wishing well.

Wishing Well
Picking up bottle caps off the city sidewalks, and collecting pretty pennies in a jar. Rubbing copper faces for luck instead of simply looking up, She misses all the billboard love stapled to the sky above. Weaving through the concrete streets, dodging skyscrapers on tiptoe feet, she's just blowing in the breeze - sleep, wake up, repeat. She's a windy thing, herself, she's an angel raising hell with the scent of midnight cigarettes. She's a nightmare in a burning dress. She's an empty wishing well.
