I remember him, he was very young

No one spoke like him, he was someone

And I carried on like I couldn't stop

All of it for us baby



And you, you got in my way

Stood between me and my friends

It was my sin, it was my shame

You were unconscious to the pain I was in



Chorus:

I hear there's trouble in shangri-la

I run through the grass

I run over the stones

Down to the sea

Show me the way back honey

I hear there's trouble in shangri-la

I run through the grass

I run over the stones

Show me the way back to the sea



With honor be it spoken

To understand this light that we carry

And let it light your way

Of course you know I generally take it



Well I make accomodations for you

And consider this

You used to be my love

I make excuses for you



Chorus



You can consume all the beauty in the room baby

I know you can, I've seen you do it

And it brings up the wind

And it rises around you in pillars of color



But the promise has been broken

As you walk throught the shadow of death

You try to see now evil

But you are so heartbroken

You say dear God, make it stop!



Before the dawn of spearation

Brings up the wind

Rises around you

I hear there'e trouble in Shangri-La

Pillars of color

Trouble in Shangri-La

I make accomodations for you



I guess we don't believe

That things could go this far

We all believe in people

That we think believe in God

Somewhere in the night

Someone feels the pain

The ones who walk away

Try to love again



Chorus



You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby

Because you are so heartbroken

You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby

Before the dawn of separation

You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby

Show me the way back
