Titel: SHANGHAI'D IN SHANGHAI
Interpret: NAZARETH
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Standing on a corner in downtown L.A.
Waiting for the man to come along
She comes up to me and says "too bad, too sad"
You know that he's been dead and gone.
L.A. Lady Kinda Shady
She picked him up and took him home
I woke up groggy my sight was smoggy
And I knew that it had been blown.
Early in the morning sitting in an hotel
Moscow's looking fine through the wine
Spaced out I crashed out
When the K.G.B. came on my line.
It's a cold one bein' sent down
It's gotta be fifty below.
Mama, here's a postcard to let you know
I'm in a salt mine looking for coal.
Shanghai'd in Shanghai
Stood on in Tucson
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed.
Flyin' across the desert from Texas to Tucson
But we're headed for a Southern star
The captain says it's fine in Havana
This dudd behind me needs a cigar
He's a big one, he's got a big gun
I guess we'd better go along.
Mister we've got a gig in Arizona
Second billing to the Rolling Stones.
Shanghai'd in Shanghai
Stood on in Tucson
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed
Shanghai'd in Shanghai
Laid low in 'frisco
Done in and left behind for dead.
