[Intro] [percussive acoustic guitar strumming, palm-muted] [bass and kick drum enter] [Verse 1] [gritty male baritone vocals] Three wise men, three blind mice Winkin', Blinkin', and Nod I'll give you three wishes and all three dimensions Holy Ghost, Jesus, and God [snare and tambourine enter] Damn, been so long in this shell And I am hot as hell Need someone to set me free Oh look, here comes three [Chorus] [three-part vocal harmonies] [full band, driving rhythm] Well, I washed up on the shore (on the shore) From the sky (from the sky) Out of the blue A voice whispered, "I, I, I, I, I've got the thing, I've got the deal you need" Even Adam liked the apple, why don't you follow? Eat them all, now you know you want it Come and get it, 'cause I've got what you need Full of surprises of all shapes and sizes Follow Geronimo's lead [Instrumental Break] [acoustic guitar solo with melodic fills] [Verse 2] [vocals become more rhythmic and spoken-word style] Well, I was the first one to go And a man of few words Subverted, wish-blurted Oh, with a nick and a nod, I said it low Then I said it loud With my new-found wealth, I will afford to be proud But the island knows my release [vocal harmonies enter] (Oh, you gotta watch what you want and you see if you want it) All in my head, just what you wanted and you see if you want it [Chorus] [full band] Grace, all that we carried under this pine I can't even breathe And I watch while he sticks a toe from my fat stack I said, I watch while he sticks a toe from my fat stack And I got just what you want (gotta watch what you want) Yeah, I got just what you want (gotta watch what you want) Yeah, yeah, yeah (gotta watch what you want) And the genie smiled and said, "It's too easy, too easy, too easy, too easy" To turn that wish back on itself You shouldn't have oughta had wishes for wealth [Bridge] [acoustic guitar strumming intensifies] Oh, I'd give all the wishes you offered me To lay upon my lips like a silver kiss That I could be this famous And we would have wanted me But you better watch out, you might get what you wanted As the ground is growing weary with the cold And you better watch out, but your soul still belongs to the brave Should have known that you just might get just what you wanted [Outro] [vocal harmonies repeating] (Get what you wanted, yeah, yeah, yeah) (Get what you wanted, yeah, yeah, yeah) And the genie smiled and said, "It's too easy, too easy, too easy, too easy" To take the fun out of the game You shouldn't have oughta had wishes for fame [acoustic guitar strumming slows] And overwhelmed with astonishment My hair was standing straight up on its ends And I bowed down my head to the shining one And I said with some confidence "Oh yeah, I got you all figured out now" I said, "I know what you're up to now, big girl" What do I wish for? Nothing at all And then I vanished into existence You got exactly what you wished for [final acoustic guitar chord rings out]
