Shangri-la

Lonely pavements, shards of glass reflect the evening sky
And I think of peach blossom
Concrete tumours, competing greed and height
And all I see are Himalayas

I've heard about a place with trees
Where springs run clean through valleys and peaks
And the air can heal you as you breathe
Not like the smoke that fills these streets
I read about a place somewhere far
You can't get there by car
Where misty vales hide mystery trails
I think they call it Shangri-La

All I see are Himalayas
(Boom)

Paradise waits
Only for the lonely
The escapists and the brave
Freedom is a place
Let's run away, I know the way
To somewhere far
They call it Shangri-La
(Boom)
Now think of peach blossom
All I see are Himalayas
Paradise waits
Freedom is a place, now
I think they call it Shangri-La

Where the proof machines and roofs block my view
And I just think of lost horizons
Drains engorged with filthy water
Cut my cord and
I make birdsongs out of sirens

I've heard about a place with trees
Where springs run clean through valleys and peaks
And the air can heal you as you breathe
Not like the smoke that fills these streets
Yeah, I read about a place somewhere far
You can't get there by car
Where misty vales hide mystery trails
I think they call it Shangri-La

All I see are Himalayas
(Boom)

Paradise waits
Only for the lonely
The escapists and the brave
Freedom is a place
Let's run away, I know the way
To somewhere far
They call it Shangri-La
(Boom)
Now think of peach blossom
All I see are Himalayas
Paradise waits
Freedom is a place, now
I think they call it Shangri-La

I'm trading grey for green
I'm gonna throw it all away for my Utopian dream
The holy grail of fairy tales calls to me
And I've become my own queen
I'm never going back, no way, don't wanna
I'm never going back, I've found nirvana
I'm never going back, no way, don't wanna
I'm never going back

All I see are Himalayas
(Boom)

Paradise waits
Only for the lonely
They escape inside their brains
Freedom is a place
Let's run away, I know the way
To somewhere far
They call it Shangri-La
(Boom)
Now think of peach blossom
And all I see are Himalayas
Paradise waits
Freedom is a place, now
I think they call it Shangri-La
Now think of peach blossom
And all I see are Himalayas
Paradise waits
Freedom is a place, now
I think they call it Shangri-La
(Boom)
