Lyrics

Mountains of Lhasa are feeling the rain People are walking the Potala lanes Preacher takes the school One boy breaks a rule Silly boy blue, blue Silly boy blue Yak butter statues that melt in the sun Cannot dissolve all the work you've not done A chela likes to feel That his overself pays the bill Silly boy blue, blue Silly boy blue You wish and wish, and wish again You've tried so hard to fly You'll never leave your body now You've got to wait to die La-la-la-la la, la-la, la-la-la-la La-la-la-la la, la-la, la-la-la-la La-la-la-la la, la-la-la-la-la Silly boy blue, blue Silly boy blue Child of Tibet, you're a gift from the Sun Reincarnation of one better man The homeward road is long You've left your prayers and song Silly boy blue, blue Silly boy blue Silly boy blue Silly boy blue
