Ok, break out the doubleneck guitars, the chimes, bells, moog, silk kimonos, and smoke em if ya got em! Today's Thursday Rush offering is an oldie but a goodie.



"Xanadu"

'To seek the sacred river Alph
To walk the caves of ice
To break my fast on honeydew
And drink the milk of Paradise...'

I had heard the whispered tales of immortality
The deepest mystery
From an ancient book I took a clue
I scaled the frozen mountain tops of eastern lands unknown
Time and Man alone
Searching for the lost Xanadu

Xanadu...

To stand within the Pleasure Dome
Decreed by Kubla Khan
To taste anew the fruits of life
The last immortal man
To find the sacred river Alph
To walk the caves of ice
Oh, I will dine on honeydew
And drink the milk of Paradise

A thousand years have come and gone but time has passed me by
Stars stopped in the sky
Frozen in an everlasting view
Waiting for the world to end, weary of the night
Praying for the light
Prison of the lost
Xanadu

Xanadu...

Held within the Pleasure Dome
Decreed by Kubla Khan
To taste my bitter triumph
As a mad immortal man
Nevermore shall I return
Escape these caves of ice
For I have dined on honeydew
And drunk the milk of Paradise

and for the record, no, I didn't sing along, you don't want to hear me sing the "..drunk the milk of Paradise" line. My voice has never been able to have hit that note.

and there's no escaping from Rachael Frickin Ray. She was just on CBS doing a tip or something about how to douse the heat from hot foods. Or I think, I have the sound down so it was like she was lipsynching to Rush.

and the Philadelphia Salmon Cream Cheese is the Debbil!
