Lyrics

To the spider's house
Creeping out
Innocence in heat
Vine of memories
Tangling Me

From a serpent's egg
Slip away
From this plastic shell
Man of fantasy
Poisoned the well

Leave your wish on the wailing wall
It's the promise of all calling
It's a gift
Leave your wish on the wailing wall
It's the promise of all calling
Calling 
Calling

oh-oh-oh

Green and grassy place
Monkey face
My gyrating fear
Faith a talisman
Drawing you near

Tent of miracles
Overfull
Twisting in my place
What I never tell
'Till it's too late

Leave your wish on the wailing wall
It's the promise of all calling
It's a gift
Leave your wish on the wailing wall
It's the promise of all calling
Calling
Calling

oh-oh-oh

oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Will she follow me
Swallowing
Juju beads I shake
Milk of mystery
Take me away

In a pyramid
Katidid
There is no excuse
When her kingdom comes
Nothing to do

Leave your wish on the wailing wall
It's the promise of all calling
It's a gift
Leave your wish on the wailing wall
It's the promise of all calling
Calling
Calling
Calling
yeah

oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Your wish upon the wailing wall
