There are thieves outside of our window 
 They don't belong, they don't belong 
 Is there nothing sacred or hallowed 
 It's time to move on, we've got to move on 
 And leave this all behind 
    Cause this house is getting colder 
 These shadows will not die 
 They're haunting every corner 
 The ghost of Shangri La   
 There are visions in every doorway 
 They're never gone, they only haunt 
 Where these spirits bring only heartache 
 I try to stay strong, I try to hold on 
 But I'm slipping from inside   
 And these children at my shoulder 
 They don't see the tears I cry 
 Still fighting to get over 
 The ghost of Shangri La   
 And this house is getting colder 
 These shadows will not die 
 They're haunting every corner 
 The ghost of Shangri La   
 And these children at my shoulder 
 They don't see the tears I cry 
 Still fighting to get over 
 The ghost of Shangri La
