Lyrics

[Verse 1] I don't want to die and go on off to paradise There are more fun places here that I can patronize And you, my friend, aren't born again You're dead already [Chorus] And if I can't go to Heaven, let me go to L.A Or the far West Texas desert, or an Oregon summer day If we build our Utopia, will you come and stay? Shangri-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la [Verse 2] St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go I love my friends in hell, as above and so below When the rapture comes, if you don't mind I'll be waiting down here and sweating [Chorus] If I can't go to Heaven, let me go to L.A Or the far West Texas desert, or an Oregon summer day If we build our Utopia, will you come and stay? Shangri-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Shangri-la-la-la, la-la-la-la La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, Shangri-la Shangri-la-la-la, la-la-la-la La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, Shangri-la Shangri-la-la-la, la-la-la-la La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, Shangri-la Shangri-la-la-la, la-la-la-la La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, Shangri-la [Verse 3] Accumulating cumulus in our backyard My puzzle pieces fooling heaven, bit by bit Beneath this jigsaw sky, I sit And wonder, wonder, wonder, where do I fit? [Chorus] If I can't go to Heaven, let me go to L.A Or the far West Texas desert, or an Oregon summer day If we build our Utopia, will you come and stay? Shangri-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la [Chorus] If I can't go to Heaven, let me go to L.A Or the far West Texas desert, or an Oregon summer day If we build our Utopia, will you come and stay? Shangri-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Shangri-la-la-la, la-la-la-la La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, Shangri-la Shangri-la-la-la, la-la-la-la La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, Shangri-la Shangri-la-la-la, la-la-la-la La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, Shangri-la Shangri-la-la-la, la-la-la-la La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, Shangri-la
