The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And you can never go back
Well Jackie you can be anything you want
Well that's what they said when you were young
But you never been good at moving on
Are you still at the corner restuarant
Meeting Jamie McKay when you get off?
Don't you know that it's all a sad mirage?
And you can never go back to Xanadu
Running with the young and the restless
Nothing better to do
Nothing yet to loose
And you can never go back to Avalon
Scoring with the bold and the beautiful
Those days are gone
Don't you know those days are gone
And you can never go back
Whoa Whoa Whoa
You can never go back
Whoa Whoa
Jackie didn't you say you'd be a star
Maybe it was the world that made it hard
Or maybe you've just forgotten who you are
Can't you see that you're living in the past
Maybe this is the time for me to ask
Are you ready to move on?
It's been too long
And you can never go back to Xanadu
Running with the young and the restless
Nothing better to do
And nothing yet to loose
And you can never go back to Avalon
Scoring with the bold and the beautiful
Those days are gone
Don't you know those days are gone
And you can never go back
And you can never go
And you can never go
Back to Xanadu
Running with the young and restless
Nothing better to do
Nothing yet to loose
And you can never go back to Avalon
Scorring with the bold and the beautiful
Those days are gone
Don't you know those days are gone
And you can never go back
Whoa Whoa Whoa
Go back. And you can never go back.
Whoa Whoa Whoa
You can never go back
You can never go, and you can never go, and you can never go back.
