about

I'm aware that there are several ways to spell the name. If I've messed it up, I hope scholars in the future will have mercy on me. I was just trying to write a love song.

lyrics

KUBLAI KHAN

You took me over, what could I do
I didn’t expect to meet a girl like you
A tender offer, a gentle hand
I tore up my ticket and threw out my plans

Well this is something...what can I say
Sometimes in dreams I think I felt this way
Don’t need no harem, no pleasure dome
I’ve got all I need here in my home sweet home

Because you, you make me feel like Kublai Khan
Yeah you, you got the good stuff on
You take it, you make it
You make me feel like Kublai Khan

All that you wish for is my command
I’ll put the reins of power right into your hand
We’ll ride our horses across the range
Out over the mystical Mongolian plain

And in the distance I think I see
Amazing things for both of you and me
Love and adventure, and travel far
Everything is cool wherever we two are

Because you, you make me feel like Kublai Khan
Yeah you, you got the good stuff on
You take it, you make it
You make me feel like Kublai Khan

about

Beowulf Kingsley Grass Lake Charter Township, Michigan

Todd was here before. Perhaps you recognize him from back then. He looked different then, though. If you think he owes you any money, he was probably some other guy. Those other guys are gone now. We think they may be in Guam, or possibly Kansas.
