Shangri-La Lyrics
In my world of television
And obscurity
I eat a sandwich
And drink a cup of tea
I am floating on the river
Of no return
Dying of cancer
Again and again
I'd like to thank the entertainers
For whiling away my time
I am grateful to them
For occupying my mind
I dreamed I saw a mountain
High as the stars
And at the top the magic kingdom
Of Shangri-La
People on that lost horizon
Live on and on
Keep the lost books of Livy
Safe from all harm
I saw it all on television
But now I lay me down
To float away upon the river
Of no return
And obscurity
I eat a sandwich
And drink a cup of tea
Of no return
Dying of cancer
Again and again
For whiling away my time
I am grateful to them
For occupying my mind
High as the stars
And at the top the magic kingdom
Of Shangri-La
Live on and on
Keep the lost books of Livy
Safe from all harm
But now I lay me down
To float away upon the river
Of no return
