General Deluxé

[Chorus]
Come on, we've been us, come on, we've been them
Come on, we've been looking, looking for a gem
Come on, we've been none, come on, we've been some
Come on, we've been marching to a different drum

[Verse 1]
A still, quiescent feeling sometimes grows
Too big and must be given a journey
We are friends searching for a lost valley
Lonely mountains, they guard that jewel, we know

[Chorus]
Come on, we've been young, come on, we've been old
Giving in to legends, letting them unfold
Come on, we've been none, come on, we've been some
Come on, we've been marching to a different drum

[Refrain]
The things I've seen with, I've seen with my ears
My mind playing, staying with
The things I've seen with, I've seen with my ears
All those places, faces over the years

[Verse 2]
In a beauteous garden, we stargaze
And hear revelry noises of a feast
From a shimmering distance that's ablaze
Magic fires delight and they amaze

[Chorus]
Odd are flames that dance, odd are their wild swings
Odd are moving shadows, odd are songs they sing
Odd are silhouettes, odd are thoughts they bring
Odd are stars above us, odd are their playthings

[Refrain]
I have seen with, I've seen with my ears
My mind playing, staying with
The things I've, I've seen with my ears
All those places, faces over all these years

[Verse 3]
Your eyes, they spin you, lies and cheat you
And tell your brain to keep you all blind
The quest for Shangri-La is untrue
'Til child is father of the man's mind
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
A strange garden of a fantastic
A fantastic house
That is overlooking a river
In a lush, green valley
Of the mountains
Where
Everyone you happen upon
Everyone you happen upon
Everyone you happen upon
Everyone you happen upon
Everyone you happen upon
Everyone you happen upon
Everyone you happen upon
Everyone you happen upon
Everyone you happen upon
Everyone you happen upon
Everyone you happen upon
Everyone you happen upon
Everyone you happen upon
Everyone you happen upon
Everyone you happen upon
Everyone you happen upon
Everyone you happen upon
Everyone you happen upon
Everyone you happen upon
Everyone you happen upon
Is
An adventure?

[Chorus]
Come on, we've been lost, come on, we've been found
Come on, we've been questing high and low for sounds
Come on, we've been none, come on, we've been some
Come on, we've been marching to a different drum

[Refrain]
Seen with, I've seen with my ears
Those who seek, sought the valley
Seen with, I've seen with my ears
All those places, faces over the years
