Sentimentalists by The Burning Hell Lyrics
There was a restaurant
On the top floor of the Hudson’s Bay
It was called the Paddlewheel
It still is today
And there really was a paddlewheel
Floating in a watery tank
You could lean over the rail, throw a penny in
And make a wish as it sank
I used to try and land the pennies on the paddles of the paddlewheel
So they’d stay there for a second before they fell
I thought if I could do it then my wish would come true
But I was small and it was hard to do
On the top floor of the Hudson’s Bay
It was called the Paddlewheel
It still is today
And there really was a paddlewheel
Floating in a watery tank
You could lean over the rail, throw a penny in
And make a wish as it sank
I used to try and land the pennies on the paddles of the paddlewheel
So they’d stay there for a second before they fell
I thought if I could do it then my wish would come true
But I was small and it was hard to do
