There's a sacrifice you make There are people along the way When there's nowhere to run and there's nowhere to stay And the wheels still move But won't slow down Even when you're spinning in the same soft ground And there's a tear in her eye Because she's known you too long And she can't tell the singer from the whorehouse song When the well runs dry There's nothing left to say Just throw up your hands and wail all day And everything's fair And you don't like it that way Something has to die When the well runs dry There's a dancer I used to get By giving her cigarettes She told me that I hadn't quite hurt enough yet So I let her do me wrong But not for very long Then I put her in the mirror and I put her in a song When the well runs dry There's nothing left to say Throw up your hands and wail all day And everything's fair And you don't like it that way Something has to die When the well runs dry Sitting here at the top your will is getting weak You let my mind get fattened up Now I'm quiet and I ain't supposed to speak I'll speak up when I've had enough A singer we used to know He let himself go Played 15 minutes of a sold out show And everybody laughed In the aftermath And he never came back No he never came back When the well runs dry There's nothing left to say Throw up your hands and wail all day And everything's fair And you don't like it that way Something has to die When the well runs dry
