Lyrics

Do-de-do-de-do-deh-deh, do-de-do-de-do-deh!
Do-de-do-de-do-deh-deh, do-de-do-de-do-deh!
Shut Up.
Fine.

This is my home
Probably cost more than all of Ancient Rome
(still I'm alone)
No one to float
With me in my pool or my lake, or my moat

Some abodes, they make people cool
Make them buzz, some Xanadu
Mine Xanadoesn't intrigue the town
No one will ride on my merry-go-round
(no one)

[Chorus]
They run away
It never ends
And all I have
Are gargoyle friends

So beautifully carved
Out of volcanic stone
(still I'm alone)
All they can do
Is fountain the wine from the winemaking room

I presume that everyone's mad
Just tonight, the gala I had
 Was a delight, but nobody came
It must be their fault, who else can I blame?
(no one)

[Chorus]

The things I build
Do not impress
The outside world
It hurts me, yes

It can get lonely
(lonely in my mansion)
Yes, it can get lonely in my mansion
They run away
It never ends

It can get lonely
(lonely in my mansion)
Yes, it can get lonely in my mansion
When all I have
Are gargoyle friends

Trivia

The Xanadu/Xanadoesn’t pun is a reference to the Mongol Empire-era city of the same name, best known for its reputed splendour as described in Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s famous poem.
