Hidden away - it's the end of a day   And you're not really thinking at all   There's that same stupid paper on the wall   And a stain where the damp's crawling      Chorus:   He's still looking for his shangri-la   But he wouldn't know it . . .   If it hit him in the face   If it hit him in the face      Day turns to daze   And indifference plays   While a sun goes on beating in the sky   And a small child falls over as she crys   Somewhere someone is calling her      Chorus   She's still looking for her shangri-la   But she wouldn't know it . . .   If it hit her in the face   If it hit her in the face      Spoken : I take a look behind me   And the sun shines brighter there   And the people are much more beautiful   In a place without a care   And I'm wondering if there'll ever be room for me   In shangri-la      Wondering now - do you love me - and now   As I burn with a dangerous desire   Is our time up and on to the next fire   Got my fingers burnt and cut into the wire   Do you think we will ever learn      Chorus      As we keep looking our shangri-la...   Our shangri-la   But we wouldn't know it . . .   If it hit us in the face   If it hit us in the face
