Shanghaid (j J Cale And A Ashworth) Lyrics

Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore

 New York, Boston and Baltimore

 They'll take you right down where you don't want to go

 If you talk too fast and you walk too slow

 

     Shanghaid, Shanghaid

     Been locked up and Shanghaid

     Shanghaid, Shanghaid

     Been locked up and Shanghaid

 

 I tried to live by the golden rule

 Do unto others and they'll do unto you

 Every time I get turned on

 I end up singing the same song

 

 I was crossing the desert on Saturday

 I met two women that passed my way

 They took me to a tent and they locked the door

 And all they ever said was "More, more!"

 

 And I'm standing right here with my usual slack

 Police got me for talking back

 "You're out on the street, you'd better watch your step

 If you talk too loud, now button your lip"

 

 Sitting in a bar in West Berlin

 Sipping on a glass that's low again

 Talking to a woman I thought I knew

 The lights went out and I did too
