Suckers Shangri-La
A false heaven has touched down
This is a sucker's Shangri-La no doubt
Are you going to be crestfallen?
A mark
Playing a game
I fear your hand
The devil in me wants to know
So I ask
Oh oh
Is your time running out?
Your family fortune
Going up in flames
Child
This is not what you've been waiting for
They fooled you
Wanting to believe
It's a perfect reason
To wave goodbye
You can't even escape its shadow
You can't escape crying over photographs
It doesn't help that he can see you coming
And he knows how to break you like an animal
You writhe just like a worm
Because you are accursed
Oh oh
Just let me lay here
While I vacillate
Do I bend?
Are we bound together evermore?
That's just how it is
Out to sea without an oar
Drifting off again
With the sirens sounding
Wave goodbye
This is a sucker's Shangri-La no doubt
Are you going to be crestfallen?
A mark
Playing a game
I fear your hand
The devil in me wants to know
So I ask
Oh oh
Is your time running out?
Your family fortune
Going up in flames
Child
This is not what you've been waiting for
They fooled you
Wanting to believe
It's a perfect reason
To wave goodbye
You can't even escape its shadow
You can't escape crying over photographs
It doesn't help that he can see you coming
And he knows how to break you like an animal
You writhe just like a worm
Because you are accursed
Oh oh
Just let me lay here
While I vacillate
Do I bend?
Are we bound together evermore?
That's just how it is
Out to sea without an oar
Drifting off again
With the sirens sounding
Wave goodbye
