Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The animals are winding me up
The jungle call
The jungle call
[Verse 2]
In Xanadu did Kublai Khan
A Pleasuredome erect
Movin' on, keep movin' on, yeah
Movin' at one million miles an hour
Using my power
I sell it by the hour
I have it so I market it
You really can't afford it, yeah
Really can't afford it
[Verse 3]
Shooting stars never stop
Even when they reach the top
Shooting stars never stop
Even when they reach the top
[Verse 4]
There goes a supernova
What a pushover, yeah
There goes a supernova
What a pushover
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Moving on, keep movin' on
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
[Verse 7]
Shooting stars never stop
Even when they reach the top
Yeah, shooting stars never stop
Even when they reach the top
[Verse 8]
There goes a supernova
What a pushover, yeah
There goes a supernova
What a pushover
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
Keep movin' on
Gotta reach the top
Don't stop
Live love and light, oh my
Keep movin' on
Yeah
[Verse 11]
Shooting stars never stop
Shooting stars never stop
[Verse 12]
Shooting stars never stop
Even when they reach the top
There goes a supernova
What a pushover
[Verse 13]
Shooting stars never stop
Even when they reach the top
There goes a supernova
What a pushover, yeah
There goes a supernova
[Verse 14]
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
Going home where lovers roam
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
[Verse 15]
War is war
[Verse 16]
War is war
War, war, war
[Verse 17]
Keep moving on
Gotta reach the top
Don't stop
Live love and light, oh my
Keep moving on
Oh, yeah
[Verse 18]
Shooting stars never stop
Shooting stars never stop
Shooting stars never stop
There goes a supernova
What a pushover
[Verse 19]
Shooting stars never stop
Even when they reach the top
Shooting stars never stop
Even when they reach the top
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 20]
Shooting stars never stop
Even when they reach the top
Shooting stars never stop
Even when they reach the top
[Verse 21]
There goes a supernova
What a pushover
There goes a supernova
What a pushover, yeah
[Verse 22]
Ha, 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
[Verse 23]
We're a long way from home
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
Welcome
[Verse 24]
The world is my oyster
Ha ha ha
[Verse 25]
The world is my oyster
Ha ha ha
[Verse 26]
The world is my oyster
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[Verse 27]
Welcome
