Shangri-La

Hidden away -It's the end of the 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 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 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 four our Shangri-La...

Shangri-La

But we wouldn't know it...

If it hit us in the face

If it hit us in the face
