Nazareth - Shanghai'd In Shanghi 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 sadYou know that hes 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 hotelMoscows looking fine through the wineSpaced out I crashed outWhen the k.g.b. came on the line.Its a cold one, bein sent downIts gotta be fifty belowMama heres a postcard to let you knowIm in a saltmine and looking for coalShanghaId in shanghaiStood on in tusconRipped off and kicked right out the bedFlyin across the desert from texas to tusconBut were headed for a southern starThe captain says its fine in havanaThis dude behind me needs a cigar.Hes a big one, hes got a big gunI guess we better go alongMister weve got a gig in arizonaSecond billing to the rolling stonesShanghaId in shanghaiStood on in tusconRipped off and kicked right out the bedShanghaId in shanghaiLaid low in friscoDone in and left behind for dead(copyright 1974 mountain/carlin music)
