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
