Nazareth - Shanghai'd In Shanghai (US Version) Lyrics
Standing on a corner in downtown L.A.Waiting for the man to come alongShe comes up to me and says "too bad, too sad"You know that he's been dead and gone.L.A. lady, kinda shadyShe picked him up and took him homeI woke up groggy my sight was smoggyAnd I knew that it had been blownEarly in the morning sitting in a hotelMoscow's looking fine through the wineSpaced out I crashed outWhen the K.G.B. came on the line.It's a cold one, bein' sent downIt's gotta be fifty belowMama here's a postcard to let you knowI'm in a saltmine and looking for coalShanghai'd in ShanghaiStood on in TusconRipped off and kicked right out the bedFlyin' across the desert from Texas to TusconBut we're headed for a southern starThe captain says it's fine in HavanaThis dude behind me needs a cigar.He's a big one, he's got a big gunI guess we better go alongMister we've got a gig in ArizonaSecond billing to the Rolling StonesShanghai'd in ShanghaiStood on in TusconRipped off and kicked right out the bedShanghai'd in ShanghaiLaid low in 'FriscoDone in and left behind for dead
