[Verse 1]
All the lights and the cameras and the action
You've always reminded me of some famous actress
In a Courtney Love t-shirt and a western French jacket
So tall and blonde and evenly backlit
So I bought a dream in a Black Friday blow-out
Then I moved to California for a six-foot knockout
Goddamn, Pamela Anderson eat your heart out
Eat your heart out
[Chorus]
Shangri-La-ah-ah-ah-ah-ooh
Shangri-La-ah-ah-ah-ah-ooh
Shangri-Lost
Shangri-Lost
[Verse 2]
Let's fast-forward through the more tragic
Isn't that the way it always happens
Listen, I have this terrible habit
Of revising the past with
A focus on the bad shit
And that kinda damage
It doesn't evеr get quite fixed (It doеsn't ever get quite fixed)
So let me blame it on my anxiety
A luxury never afforded me
Flashing on the white screens
That light up Chavez Ravine
Is this gonna be the death of me?
[Chorus]
Shangri-La-ah-ah-ah-ah-ooh
Shangri-La-ah-ah-ah-ah-ooh
Shangri-Lost
Shangri-Lost
[Verse 3]
Now I'm banging at the gates
Of the Bohemian Grove
Try to sing and dance
For all the people in the shadows
There's trouble in paradise
I know, I know, I know
Trust me I know
I haven't lost my mind yet
But fuck, I'm getting close
So no one else can reach me
I destroyed my goddamn phone
While standing in the shallow end
In my leopard-print bathrobe
With a nine iron in one hand
And a Forty-Five Bordeaux
I'm yelling at whoever's hiding
Out in the mangrove
[Bridge]
Who's out there?
Who's out there?
Who's out there?
Who's out there?
I'm a walking, talking Southern Gothic
I look in for treasure
Buried deep in the tropics
What's up today
Oh I'm just digging my own grave
On a lonely strip
Of the Pacific Coast Highway
[Chorus]
Shangri-La-ah-ah-ah-ah-ooh
Shangri-La-ah-ah-ah-ah-ooh
Shangri-Lost
Shangri-Lost
Shangri-La-ah-ah-ah-ah-ooh
Shangri-La-ah-ah-ah-ah-ooh
Shangri-Lost
Shangri-Lost
Shangri-La-ah-ah-ah-ah-ooh
Shangri-La-ah-ah-ah-ah-ooh
Shangri-Lost
Shangri-Lost
