The Body Is the Book

Let's laugh in the sight of a thousand eyes Kick up our heels in the temple aisles Let's commit a crime The world owes us a lifetime The body is the book, but I can't look beyond the cover And beauty is a flower, that time will devour Let's steal a car and drive a thousand miles Joyride till we're dry - jump over the turnstiles We know we're worthless How this hurt us? The body is the book, but I can't look beyond the cover And beauty is a flower, that time will devour Nothing's impossible. All is permissible You are going forwards and up, towards the light Willingly and consciously, towards the light You are going, and you are doing this beautifully You are going towards the light Towards a greater love than you have ever known And it is easy, it is easy Nothing's impossible. All is permissible So sharp, I know, that nothing lasts forever I'm caught on a wheel, I'm on the great never never Well, what do we know We add up to zero? Nothing's impossible. All is permissible The body is the book, but I can't look beyond the cover And beauty is a flower, that time will devour
