Lyrics The Body Is The Book - Candyland

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
