Shangri-La

I don’t want to die and go on off to paradise
There are more fun places here that I can patronize
And you, my friend, aren’t born again
You’re dead already
And if I can’t go to Heaven, let me go to L. A
Or the far West Texas desert, or an Oregon summer day
If we build our Utopia, will you come and stay?
Shangri-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
St. Peter, don’t you call me 'cause I can’t go
I love my friends in hell, as above and so below
When the rapture comes, if you don’t mind
I’ll be waiting down here and sweating
If I can’t go to Heaven, let me go to L. A
Or the far West Texas desert, or an Oregon summer day
If we build our Utopia, will you come and stay?
Shangri-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Shangri-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, Shangri-la
Shangri-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, Shangri-la
Shangri-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, Shangri-la
Shangri-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, Shangri-la
Accumulating cumulus in our backyard
My puzzle pieces fooling heaven, bit by bit
Beneath this jigsaw sky, I sit
And wonder, wonder, wonder, where do I fit?
If I can’t go to Heaven, let me go to L. A
Or the far West Texas desert, or an Oregon summer day
If we build our Utopia, will you come and stay?
Shangri-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
If I can’t go to Heaven, let me go to L. A
Or the far West Texas desert, or an Oregon summer day
If we build our Utopia, will you come and stay?
Shangri-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Shangri-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, Shangri-la
Shangri-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, Shangri-la
Shangri-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, Shangri-la
Shangri-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, Shangri-la
