Basement El Dorado
I'd like to think there's some reason for all of this suffering
I'd like to believe in a life with a Disney ending
And that one day I'll shake the big hand up there painting the celluloid
Where there's plenty of vacant apartments for the broken and unemployed
There's a shimmering Atlantis by the oil rig
There's a panoramic Heaven on the studio lot
Every second that I wait is another second, I can't wait
Till I make it there
Must be some kind of love
Must be some kind of love that'll take me there
Now I take it in stride 'cause I know this world is just on loan
And I politely start queuing up to meet my chaperone
There's a basement El Dorado in the pawnshop
There's a Shangri-La at the bottom of a landfill
Every second that I wait is another second, I can't wait
Till I make it there
Must be some kind of love
Must be some kind of love that'll take me there
Won't you take me?
