lyrics

Xanadu
lyrics ©Storm Garner 2006


if I could only learn how to
slyly surrogate
these mumbling mitigating mutilations...

if I could just discern among
dead yet unfurling blooms
between these treasure-churning spoons
the taste that, placed, would speak of
wiltless young impatiens...

if I could just assume
that all these bent-back, blackened moons
and all these sleepless, slackened grooms
would sooner meet their dire dooms
than tie my foot
to milder aspirations...

then I'd just sip my tepid tea
and happ'ly talk of
you and me

and we'd be
on our way
at a leisurely pace
today
to our permanent place to stay
in great grey xanadu

yes we'd be
on our way
at a leisurely pace
today
to our permanent place to stay
in great grey xanadu
xanadu
xanadu
xanadu
xanadu....
