Faxanadu WITH LYRICS - Rock Remix

Mantras, swords, and a giant tree. I loved this game as a kid, especially the music. Now it has lyrics, set to various remixes. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

Mantras, swords, and a tree
It's a game called Faxanadu
What does this word mean?
It's "Famicom" and "Xanadu"

I was just seven years old
When I got the chicken pox
So my mom rented this game for me
I said, "this shit fucking rocks"

Whoooa
Why can't I
Stay home playing Faxanadu
Like I would do when I was seven?
Why can't I
Just stay home playing Faxanadu
Playing Faxanadu now?


On this journey, I came to see
My hometown at the World Tree
Everything's changed, the wells are drained
"Save our ass!" the king exclaimed

Put on my wingboots and fly
Up here
Make sure to land 'fore they
Disappear

Some enemies attack my knees
Others fly or look like cheese
I can stop time and jump real high
But can't squat down like other guys

Somehow my passwords are gone
Again
There were no cheat codes online
Back then

"Would you like to purchase
A magic spell that's phat?"
"There's no way in hell
I can pay for that!"
"Maybe you could save up
By killing jumpy guys.
That would help cuz
They've kept me trapped inside."

(well, ok I guess. How long could this possibly take?)

Mantras are little prayers
That you learn out there
And if you were to die
Just speak one and revive
You'll be swept away
To a sacred place
Where gurus blink their eyes
And always sympathize
When you're feeling down
You can come to town
And they'll give you a code
To help you share the load
Let your heart be glad
And forget you had
Just spent three hours
Grinding out gold

When you play Faxanadu
Your life comes unglued
And all you care about
Is killing enemies
And turning fountains on
Until dawn
