Shanghaid - JJ Cale

Hong kong, tokyo and singapore

New york, boston and baltimore

Theyll take you right down where you dont 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 theyll do unto you

Every time I get turned on I end up singing the same song

Shanghaid, shanghaid

Been locked up and shanghaid

Shanghaid, shanghaid

Been locked up and shanghaid

I was crossing the desert on a sunny day

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»

Shanghaid, shanghaid

Been locked up and shanghaid

Shanghaid, shanghaid

Been locked up and shanghaid

And Im standing right here with my usual slack

Police got me for talking back

«youre out on the street, youd better watch your step

If you talk too loud, now button your lip»

Shanghaid, shanghaid

Been locked up and shanghaid

Shanghaid, shanghaid

Been locked up and shanghaid

Sitting in a bar in west berlin

Sipping on a glass thats low again

Talking to a woman I thought I knew

The lights went out and I did too

Shanghaid, shanghaid

Been locked up and shanghaid

Shanghaid, shanghaid

Been locked up and shanghaid
