The Body Is The Book - Candyland

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
