The playboy mansion

If coke is a mystery
and michael jackson…history
if beauty is truth
and surgery the fountain of youth
what am I to do
have I got the gifts to get me through
the gates of that mansion

if oj is more than a drink
and a big mack bigger than you think
if perfume is an obsession
and talk shows…confession
what have we got to lose
another push and maybe we’ll be through
the gates of that mansion

I never bought a lotto ticket
I never parked in anyone’s space
the banks they’re like cathedrals
I guess casinos took their place
LOVE ‘ COME ON DOWN’
don’t wake her she’ll come around

chance is a kind of religion
where you’re damned for plain hard luck
I never did see that movie
never did read the book
love come on down
let my numbers come around

don’t know if I can hold on
don’t know if I’m that strong
don’t know if I can wait that long
till the colours come flashing
and the lights go on

then will there be no time for sorrow
then will there be no time for shame
and though I can’t say why
I know I’ve got to believe

we’ll go driving in that pool
it’s who you know that gets you through
the gates of the playboy mansion

then there will be no time for sorrow
then there will be no time for pain
then there will be no time for sorrow
then will there be no time for shame
