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?
