i've been around the world and i wrote a million songs

it's all a bore to me

i've slept in the gutter and i've lied to the dogs

it never bothered me

the sheriff he came to with his little boys in blue

they been lookin for me

but with my crystal sheen guitar i'm another ego star

so give it to me......

get me to the stage - it brings me home again

this is shangrila

i'm trippin on it now - it brings me home again

this is shangrila

i look bad in shorts but most of us do

don't let that bother me

i'm the football who is who, i don't believe in smack

so don't you die on me

cause love is all good people need

music sets the sick ones free

without love no one ever grows nothing ever sings

this is shangrila

you have gathered for the feast

the bread is my body... the wine is blood

get me to the stage - it brings me home again

this is shangrila

i'm trippin on it now - it brings me home again
