Wishing Wells

Wishing Wells is a song by the Eraserheads from their second album Circus. Penned by drummer Raimund Marasigan, the song yearns to go back to a fantastical time of fairy tales, make-believe and innocence. It references several characters from popular tales and nursery rhymes such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Jack and Jill, Little Red Riding Hood and Peter Pan. Aside from Marasigan's and Ely Buendia's singing, it also features Marasigan's signature rap/sing vocal style.

Lyrics
I wish I could go back To those fairy book tales Forget the real world And seek the seas of the talking whales A place of wishing wells and magic spells A place of wishing wells and magic spells Where everything starts out Once upon a time long, long ago And ends happily ever after I could go up the hill and run with Jill The giant could smell I'm no Englishman Cinderella danced with me at the ball I told the queen of hearts about my plan I traveled Wonderland with Alice I met with Snow White in the woods I flew with Peter Pan in Neverneverland Picked some berries with Miss Red Riding Hood I wish I could go back To those fairy book tales Forget the real world And seek the seas of the talking whales A place of wishing wells and magic spells A place of wishing wells and magic spells Where everything starts out Once upon a time long, long ago And ends happily ever after I could be an outlaw in the west Save some damsels in distress You could sleep a hundred years I will wake you up with a kiss We'll swim the seven seas We can make love more than twice Fly like dragons in the skies We could hang around on trees Or buzz around like bees We can make some honey We don't need no money baby Just turn your back You'll see jumpin' jellybean sacks Just wait for me Jack I'll be back, I'll be back I wish I could go back To those fairy book tales Forget the real world And seek the seas of the talking whales A place of wishing wells and magic spells A place of wishing wells and magic spells Where everything starts out Once upon a time long, long ago And ends happily ever after
