Shangri

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 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 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 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 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 now 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 If it hit us in the face If it hit us in the face If it hit us in the face If it hit us in the face If it hit us in the face If it hit us in the face
