Momus - Shangri-La lyrics
[Momus - 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
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
