Xanadu
From the bathing in the blood of the innocent
To the cold manipulation of cells
We will find an earthly way to begin again
If we have to drag the beast out of hell
Know that we will find a way to turn back the years
And live forever in a world of our own
Everybody else can perish in entropy
But you and I have earned our right to the throne
I'm taking you
To Xanadu
And as the waters rise up over the barriers
As the people start to run out of air
We'll have more than anybody can carry
But I will help you with the load that you bear
Yes we can do it all if we throw enough money at it
We will find the great elixir of life
Everybody else will be starving and bleeding out
But you and I will be there holding the knife
I'm taking you
To Xanadu
I'm not talking bout some trip to the afterlife
I'm not talking bout the freezing of brains
I'm not talking bout uploading my consciousness
What Henrietta lacks, we've got it in spades
We'll devour the peaches of immortality
We will dam the mythic fountain of youth
I will lift the holy stone of philosophy
And bring it down upon the masses below
I'm taking you
To Xanadu
To the cold manipulation of cells
We will find an earthly way to begin again
If we have to drag the beast out of hell
Know that we will find a way to turn back the years
And live forever in a world of our own
Everybody else can perish in entropy
But you and I have earned our right to the throne
I'm taking you
To Xanadu
And as the waters rise up over the barriers
As the people start to run out of air
We'll have more than anybody can carry
But I will help you with the load that you bear
Yes we can do it all if we throw enough money at it
We will find the great elixir of life
Everybody else will be starving and bleeding out
But you and I will be there holding the knife
I'm taking you
To Xanadu
I'm not talking bout some trip to the afterlife
I'm not talking bout the freezing of brains
I'm not talking bout uploading my consciousness
What Henrietta lacks, we've got it in spades
We'll devour the peaches of immortality
We will dam the mythic fountain of youth
I will lift the holy stone of philosophy
And bring it down upon the masses below
I'm taking you
To Xanadu
