Lyrics

Who! Who-ha!
I sell it, I sell it
I sell it, I sell it by the hour
I sell it, I sell it
I sell it, I sell it by the hour
Welcome!
Moving at one million miles an hour
Using my power, I sell it by the hour
Who-ha!
Shooting stars never stop even when they reach the top
Shooting stars never stop even when they reach the top
There goes a supernova. What a pushover, yeah
There goes a supernova. What a pushover
We're a long way from home
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
On our way home
Going home where lovers roam
Long way from home
Welcome to the Pleasuredome-dome-dome
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
I will give you diamonds by the shower
Love your body even when it's old
Do it just as only I can do it
And never ever doing what I'm told
Shooting stars never stop even when they reach the top
Shooting stars never stop even when they reach the top
There goes a supernova. What a pushover, yeah
There goes a supernova. What a pushover
We're a long way from home
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
On our way home
Going home where lovers roam
Long way from home
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
Shooting stars never stop
Even when they reach the top
Yeah, yeah yeah!
Even when they reach the top
(Shooting stars never stop)
Who-ha! Who-ha!
Yeah, yeah yeah!
Who-ha!
Who! Who-ha!
(Even when they reach the top)
Who-ha!
Even when they reach the top
(In Xanadu did Kublai Khan a pleasuredome erect)
(Shooting stars never stop)
(Even when they reach the top)
Shooting stars never stop
(In Xanadu did Kublai Khan a pleasuredome erect)
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Erect!
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
Who-ha!
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
Who! Who-ha!
Going home where lovers roam
Welcome to the Pleasuredome!
Who-ha!
Going home where lovers roam
Going home where lovers roam
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
Going home where lovers roam
Going home where lovers roam
Going home where lovers roam
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
Going home where lovers roam
Going home where lovers roam
Going home where lovers roam
Long way from home
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
On our way home
Going home where lovers roam
Long way from home
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
Welcome to the Pleasuredome!
Welcome!, to the Pleasuredome!
The world is my oyster
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
The world is my oyster
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
