Wild Nothing - Basement El Dorado

I'd like to think there's a reason for all 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's another second I can't wait 'til 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
And there's a Shangri-La at the bottom of a landfill
Every second that I wait's another second I can't wait 'til 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?
