Behold The Motherlode - Candyland

The mysteries of bliss are closed to my eyes, shadows

Under my skin too deep to divine, dust to dust I do

What I must, I was born for better but you know

I feel lost.

Eight months four homes bad in my bones

See me on the subway train riding through the zones

Be a runaway but there’s no place better

Then where you’ve been

Behold the motherlode — and this is my road

Behold the motherlode — and this is my road

I’m looking from a building that the bombs missed

Call this a home I call it an edifice — it’s time to

Throw a stone through a stained glass window

Time to steal a tip from the next door table

Love thy neighbour steal their cortina — do as I do when

Times get leaner.

Tearing out a stereo everytime

The sun sets, wearing out the clothes you stole dancing

To the tape deck;

live it like the last days, park it

In the fast lane — every night in your skull drums

Like a freight train — open up the seasons, carve

Yourself an Eden, live it how you like — never give a reason

Behold the motherlode — and this is my road

Behold the motherlode — and this is my road

May you not remember may you never need regret

May every sunrise find you in another’s bed

May every passing day let you get your own way

May you score what you came for — never miss an encore

Get on the guest list — get through the front door

May your enemies be fewer

May your substances be pure

Behold the motherlode — and this is my road

Behold the motherlode — and this is my road

All I want is the usual miracle

A touch of the physical

A shot of the spiritual
