Shangri-La - Caitlyn Scarlett

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 escape

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

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 escape

Freedom is a place

Let’s run away, I know the way

To somewhere far

They call it Shangri-L

(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, 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

The escape

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)
