Xanadu
I've always felt so out of place
A local no one that fell from grace
The only soul this town can't embrace
Did I ever really try?
So I packed my suitcase and flew away
Someplace far from the red Georgia clay
I couldn't take it another day there
I just had to close my eyes
And I woke up in Xanadu
I saw the Beatles and Gandhi too
The lights are blinding I can hardly see
All the faces lining all the glowing streets
And every woman that passes me
Is a lover from another life
All the windows are a gallery of smiles
And laughter echoes for a hundred miles
Not one minute do I feel exiled
I finally found my light
And I'll make it in Xanadu
With Mother Mary and Jesus too
A thousand nights I've been wandering
Trying to start all the lights again
And all the faces keep vanishing
As sunlight hits my eyes
Wake to see that damn red clay
Far from the memory I wish would stay
I'll pack my suitcase another day
But for now I'll just close my eyes
And I'll go back to Xanadu
With Genghis Khan and Mother too
I'll go back to Xanadu
Hopefully you'll be there too
A local no one that fell from grace
The only soul this town can't embrace
Did I ever really try?
So I packed my suitcase and flew away
Someplace far from the red Georgia clay
I couldn't take it another day there
I just had to close my eyes
And I woke up in Xanadu
I saw the Beatles and Gandhi too
The lights are blinding I can hardly see
All the faces lining all the glowing streets
And every woman that passes me
Is a lover from another life
All the windows are a gallery of smiles
And laughter echoes for a hundred miles
Not one minute do I feel exiled
I finally found my light
And I'll make it in Xanadu
With Mother Mary and Jesus too
A thousand nights I've been wandering
Trying to start all the lights again
And all the faces keep vanishing
As sunlight hits my eyes
Wake to see that damn red clay
Far from the memory I wish would stay
I'll pack my suitcase another day
But for now I'll just close my eyes
And I'll go back to Xanadu
With Genghis Khan and Mother too
I'll go back to Xanadu
Hopefully you'll be there too
