Shanghai'd in Shanghai by Nazareth

Shanghai'd in Shanghai Lyrics

[00:06.71] Nazareth
[00:08.64] Greatest Hits
[00:12.06] Shanghai'd In Shanghai
[00:12.72] Standing on a corner in downtown L.A.
[00:15.12] Waiting for the man to come along
[00:19.23] She comes up to me and says "too bad, too sad"
[00:22.21] You know that he's been dead and gone.
[00:26.37] L.A. lady, kinda shady
[00:29.72] She picked him up and took him home
[00:32.13] I woke up groggy my sight was smoggy
[00:34.43] And I knew that it had been blown
[00:40.68] Early in the morning sitting in a hotel
[00:44.15] Moscow's looking fine through the wine
[00:47.99] Spaced out I crashed out
[00:50.94] When the K.G.B. came on the line.
[00:55.89] It's a cold one, bein' sent down
[00:58.37] It's gotta be fifty below
[01:00.98] Mama here's a postcard to let you know
[01:03.98] I'm in a saltmine and looking for coal
[01:09.70] Shanghai'd in Shanghai
[01:21.83] Stood on in Tuscon
[01:27.57] Ripped off and kicked right out the bed
[01:38.46] Flyin' across the desert from Texas to Tuscon
[01:41.76] But we're headed for a southern star
[01:45.71] The captain says it's fine in Havana
[01:48.44] This dude behind me needs a cigar.
[01:52.92] He's a big one, he's got a big gun
[01:55.87] I guess we better go along
[01:58.41] Mister we've got a gig in Arizona
[02:00.95] Second billing to the Rolling Stones
[02:10.78] Shanghai'd in Shanghai
[02:13.63] Stood on in Tuscon
[02:16.99] Ripped off and kicked right out the bed
[02:25.35] Shanghai'd in Shanghai
[02:27.66] Laid low in 'Frisco
[02:31.91] Done in and left behind for dead
[02:46.18]
