Montains of Lhasa are feeling the rain
People are walking the Botella lanes
Preacher takes the school

One boy breaks a rule
Silly boy blue, silly boy blue


Yak butter statues that melt in sun
Cannot dissolve all the work you've not down
A chela likes to feel

That his overself pays the bill
Silly boy 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 [x2]
La la la la la [x2]

Silly boy blue, silly boy blue
Child of the 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, silly boy blue

Silly boy blue, silly boy blue
