Shangri-La (12' Version)Hidden away - It's the end of a dayAnd 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 |
