Shangri-La

Lyrics

Hidden away - It's the end of a day  
And you're not really thinking at all  
There's that same stupid paper on the wall  
And a stain where the damp's crawling  
Chorus:  
He's still looking for his Shangri-la  
But he wouldn't know it . . .  
If it hit him in the face  
If it hit him in the face  
Day turns to daze  
And indifference plays  
While a sun goes on beating in the sky  
And a small child falls over as she crys  
Somewhere someone is calling her  
Chorus  
She's still looking for her Shangri-la  
But she wouldn't know it . . .  
If it hit her in the face  
If it hit her in the face  
Spoken : I take a look behind me  
And the sun shines brighter there  
And the people are much more beautiful  
In a place without a care  
And I'm wondering if there'll ever be room for me  
in Shangri-la  
Wondering now - do you love me - and now  
As I burn with a dangerous desire  
Is our time up and on to the next fire  
Got my fingers burnt and cut into the wire  
Do you think we will ever learn  
Chorus  
As we keep looking our Shangri-la...  
Our Shangri-la  
But we wouldn't know it . . .  
If it hit us in the face  
If it hit us in the face
