Believable Picnic - Shangri-La lyrics

rate me

Here the bridges just aren't long

Enough, I walk but never

Reach the other side.

Here this building's never tall

Enough for me to touch the sky.

I've heard about a place where

Everyone knows how to fly,

Shangri-La

Here statues on a palace

Lawn are all the friends I had

That turned to stone.

Tears rolling down their ivory

Cheeks they didn't make it home.

I'm going to a land where all the

Hearts beat at one time,

Shangri-La

Everybody's fine in Shangri-La,

Children draw the trees there in

Crayola forest green.

Everybody smiles in Shangri-La,

Built inside the pearly whites so

Bright they light the day.

Here within the land of make

Believe, it's lipstick and a comb,

And it's Judas on a throne.

Weird how silver lies and golden

rules they teach their

Kids in school to never say

Forever so they severed all

Their ties with Shangri-La

They say it never rains in

Shangri-La a multi-colored

Rainbow fades into a neon sky

Taste candied coated halos

While pakadotted ponies teach

The children how to fly

Here our seasons have all

Learned to share the summer

Sun can warm the winter air

Here leaves only fall to kiss

The ground and it makes

The sweetest sound

We'll start another language

Using all the words that

Rhyme with Shangri-La

The silver snow in Shangri-La

Turns to silver sand so it will

Never melt away come along

With me to Shangri-La we'll

Build a silver snowman on the

Warmest summers day

No one ever cries in Shangri-La

We take a kiss and mix it

With a glass of ocean wine

And if you close your eyes in

Shangri-La a million falling stars

Will gently whisper you to sleep

And when whisper you to sleep

And when you wake you'll find

It's not a dream.
