Tentpole Shangrila

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
