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 accommodations 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 through the shadow of death
  You try to see no evil
  But you are heartbroken
  You say, dear God, make it stop!
    Before the dawn of separation
  Brings up the wind
  Rises around you
  I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
  Pillars of color
  Trouble in Shangri-La
  I make accommodations for you
    I guess we don't believe
  That things could go that 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
