Trouble in Shangri La






    I remember him...
    He was very young...
    No one spoke like him...
    He was someone...
    And I carried on like I couldn't stop
    All of it for us baby...

    And you...
    You got in my way...
    Stood between me and my friends...
    It was my sin...
    It was my shame...
    You were unconcious to the pain that I was in...

    I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
    I run thru the grass
    I run over the stones
    Down to the sea..
    Show me the way back...

    I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
    I run thru the grass
    I run over the stones
    Show me the way back
    To the sea..

    With honor be it spoken...
    To understand this light that we carry..
    And let it light your way...
    Of course you know I generally take it...

    Well I made accomodations for you...
    And consider this...
    You used to be my love
    I make excuses for you...

    I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
    I run thru the grass
    I run over the stones
    Down to the sea
    Show me the way back honey...

    I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
    I run thru the grass
    I run over the stones
    Show me the way back to the sea...

    You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
    I know you can...
    And I've seen you do it...
    And it brings up the wind...
    And it rises around you...
    In pillars of color...

    But the promise has been broken...
    As you walk thru the shadow of death
    You try to see no evil
    But you are so heartbroken
    You say dear God make it stop...

    Before the dawn of seperation...
    Brings up the wind
    Rises around you
    I hear there trouble in Shangri La
    In pillars of color
    Trouble in Shangri La
    I make accomodations for you...

    I guess we don't believe
    Things could go that far...
    We all believe in ppl
    That we think believe in God...
    Somewhere  in the night...
    Someone feels the pain
    The ones who walk away
    Try to love again...

    I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
    I run thru the grass
    I run over the stones
    Down to the sea
    Show me the way back honey

    I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
    I run thru the grass
    I run over the stones
    Show me the way back to the sea

    You can't consume all the beauty in the room, baby
    I run thru the grass
    I run over the stones
    Down to the sea
    Show me the way back honey

    Because you are so heartbroken
    I run thru the grass
    I run over the stones
    Show me the way back to the sea

    Well you can't consume all the beauty in the room, baby
    I run thru the grass
    I run over the stones
    Down to the sea
    Show me the way back honey

    Before the dawn of seperation
    I run thru the grass
    I run over the stones
    Show me the way back to the sea

   You can't consume all the beauty in the room, baby
    I run thru the grass
    I run over the stones
    Down to the sea
    Show me the way back honey

    I run thru the grass
    I run over the stones
    Show me the way back
