This Is Shangrila Lyrics by Mother Love Bone

On Earth as It Is: The Complete Works

1990

[Verse 1]
Said I've been around the world, wrote a million songs
It's all a bore to me
I've slept in the gutter and I've lied with the dogs
It never bothered me
Said the sheriff, he come too with his little boys in blue
They've been looking for me, child
But with my crystal-sheen guitar, I'm another ego star
So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Said that, I look bad in shorts, but most of us do
Don't let that bother me
I'm a football who knows who (Uh huh)
And I don't believe in smack talk (Uh huh)
So don't you die on me, babe
Don't you die on me
[Bridge]
'Cause love is all good people need
And music sets the sick ones free
Without love, no one ever grows
Nothing gonna ever sing
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Because now, this is Shangrila, honey
And you have gathered for the feast
My bread is your body
The wine is blood, child
Yeah, yeah, the wine is blood, babe (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
The wine is
Give it to me, said
[Chorus]
Get me to the stage, it brings me home again
Said this is Shangrila
I'm trippin' on it now, it brings me home again
This is Shangrila
[Outro]
Get me to the stage, it brings me home again
I'm trippin' on it now, it brings me home again
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
