Let me down, this is freaking me out
All of this attention turns the glamorous on its side
Oh, yeah, alright
This tentpole Shangri-La displays this paradise in new light

So, mark my words 'cause they gonna be true if
You done change your insides, they'll take enemies over you
Oh, yeah, alright
This tentpole Shangri-La has got its sights between your eyes

Why can't you just come on, let me know?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ah

"Brother Joe, does it ring any bells?
One of many faces that you stranded on the shelf"
Oh, no, alright
This tentpole Shangri-La has turned me into something trite

Conflicts and complications that you made up all the time
Have all proven to be worthless, fabricated in your mind
Oh, no, I thought that's all right
So, I turn to face my baby girl
She said she's never met me in her life
