Sucked down

Journey to the center of the Earth® today
Took a look around, said, “Which way?”
Popped right up on Chinese ground
Silken treasures all around
Tiny little feet never turned me on
But those Beijing girls, my God®, Szechwan
Forbidden Palace, lover's hideaway
If I could I'd like to… stay

Sucked down

Back to the center of the Earth® today
Where am I now?   This ain't Green Bay
Could I be in Timbuktu?
Books all around, this place is huge
Scholars and holy men everywhere
Streets lined with gold, the beautiful wares
Africa makes me want to sing
If I could I'd stay and… be a king

Sucked down

Down to the center of the Earth ® today
Wait a minute now, I know this place
Here it is, Tenochitilan
The Aztec king knows right from wrong
Didn't think I'd like human sacrifice
What else is there to do on a Friday night?
Playing with virgins all day long
Looks like I have found where… I belong.
