Shangri-La

(アルバム： Teases & Dares - 1984)

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
