[Verse 1]
I'm bathing in warm liquid colour
Feel every cell in my body is music
Floating in hyperspacial sound
Visualizing the landscapes of my mind
I'm opening the door to inner space
I'm feeling the vibrasound

[Chorus]
We can live forever
We can live forever
Strike that gong
We can live forever
Our love can live forever
In Shangrila

[Verse 2]
Transform with inner guidance
To a place of peace and paradise
(Oh, what a feeling)
Relax let your thoughts drift away
(Chance of freedom)
Live in belief and harmony

[Chorus]
We can live forever
We can live forever, strike that gong
We can live forever
Our love can live forever
In Shangrila (om)
In Shangrila (om)

[Verse 3]
Access your new state of mind
Dedication discipline
Searching the sensory science
Has resulted in Shangrila

[Chorus]
We can live forever
(Forever & ever & ever)
We can live forever
Our love could live forever
In Shangrila
We can live forever
(Forever & ever & ever)
We can live forever, strike that gong
We can live forever
In Shangrila (om)

[Verse 3]
A piece of a dream
The color of green
The color of healing
In Shangrila
Color of love
In Shangrila

[Outro]
I feel the sacred healing chants
I feel the moment of my death
I feel the higher learning
I feel the realization of forgiveness
Compassion and loving kindness
Om

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
