Foster The People - The Holy Shangri-La Lyrics
Official




All of my life, all of my life, all of my life
I've lived in some kind of dream
And when I open my eyes, open my eyes, open my eyes
I see interdimensional beings

And it's alright, it's alright
The tension with the good times
It's alright
Yeah, and when it's midnight, we're alright
The fever breaks with sunlight
And washes all our shadows away, hey, hey, hey

Close your eyes
Like nobody sees us, nobody sees us
Oh, my love, we'll be together

Through hard times
It's okay to rely on something you're needing to believe in
To get through to the other side
'Cause in the good times we forget
We gotta hold on to the hope that we first believed in
So we never get swept away, ay, ay, ay

I'm taking a ride to the holy Shangri-La
It's hard to know what is real
And all of my life, all of my life, all of my life
I've tried my best not to feel

Ooh, the only way to get out is if we go through it all
Yeah, we go through it all, uh-huh
Ooh, so take my hand into the light
I know it's easier to close your eyes, hey, hey, hey

The time has come
To say a prayer
An astral song
A prophet's glare
The white horse breathes
But don't despair
When the death knell rings
The time is near

So come in close to my heart
Like there's nobody else
We'll step in time and look into eternity

Through hard times
It's okay to rely on something you're needing to believe in
To get through to the other side
'Cause in the good times we forget
We gotta hold on to the hope that we first believed in
So we never get swept away, ay, ay, ay
