lyrics

You always yearned for a perfect life.
I always wanted that for you.
You always yearned for a stable life.
I only wanted the best for you.

It’s what you wanted.
We know that’s true.
But it’s not for me.
It’s not for me.
It’s what you wanted.
We know that’s true.
But it’s not for me.
I wanted something new.

A summer palace of exquisite taste.
Where my life calls.
The future beckons.
I ride to them.
I raise the pace.
I follow eagles.
They command my presence.

Xanadu Xanadu is calling.
Xanadu Xanadu.
Xanadu Xanadu is waiting.
Xanadu Xanadu

A summer palace of exquisite taste.
Where my life calls.
The future beckons.
I ride to them.
I raise the pace.
I follow eagles.
They command my presence.

A summer palace of exquisite taste.
Where my life calls.
The future beckons.
I ride to them.
I raise the pace.
I follow eagles.
They command my presence.

No-one knew where - just vanished. Some conspiracy theories suggest dark forces were at work. ... more
