Believable Picnic - Shangri-La Lyrics
Here the bridges just aren't longEnough, I walk but neverReach the other side.Here this building's never tallEnough for me to touch the sky.I've heard about a place whereEveryone knows how to fly,Shangri-LaHere statues on a palaceLawn are all the friends I hadThat turned to stone.Tears rolling down their ivoryCheeks they didn't make it home.I'm going to a land where all theHearts beat at one time,Shangri-LaEverybody's fine in Shangri-La,Children draw the trees there inCrayola forest green.Everybody smiles in Shangri-La,Built inside the pearly whites soBright they light the day.Here within the land of makeBelieve, it's lipstick and a comb,And it's Judas on a throne.Weird how silver lies and goldenrules they teach theirKids in school to never sayForever so they severed allTheir ties with Shangri-LaThey say it never rains inShangri-La a multi-coloredRainbow fades into a neon skyTaste candied coated halosWhile pakadotted ponies teachThe children how to flyHere our seasons have allLearned to share the summerSun can warm the winter airHere leaves only fall to kissThe ground and it makesThe sweetest soundWe'll start another languageUsing all the words thatRhyme with Shangri-LaThe silver snow in Shangri-LaTurns to silver sand so it willNever melt away come alongWith me to Shangri-La we'llBuild a silver snowman on theWarmest summers dayNo one ever cries in Shangri-LaWe take a kiss and mix itWith a glass of ocean wineAnd if you close your eyes
