Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Standin' on the corner in downtown L.A.
Waitin' on the man to come along
She comes up to me and says, "Too bad, too sad"
You know that he's been gone
[Verse 2]
L.A. lady, kinda shady, she picked him up and took him home
[Verse 3]
I woke up groggy, my sight was smoggy
And I knew that it had been blown
Early in the mornin', sittin' in a hotel
Moscow's lookin' fine through the wine
Spaced out, I crashed out, the KGB came on my line
[Verse 4]
It's a cold one, bein' sent down, it's gotta be fifty below
[Verse 5]
Mama, here's a postcard to let you know
I'm in a salt mine, I'm lookin' for coal
[Verse 6]
Shanghai'd in Shanghai, stood on in Tucson
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed
[Verse 7]
Flyin' 'cross the desert from Texas to Tucson
But we're headed for a southern star
The captain says it's fine in Havana
This dude behind me needs a cigar
[Verse 8]
He's a big one, he's got a big gun, I guess we better go along
[Verse 9]
Mister, we've got a gig in Arizona, second billin' to the Rolling Stones
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
Shanghai'd in Shanghai (Shanghai'd in Shanghai)
Shanghai'd in Shanghai (Shanghai'd in Shanghai) Woo
Shanghai'd in Shanghai (Shanghai'd in Shanghai)
Shanghai'd in Shanghai (Shanghai'd in Shanghai) Woo
Shanghai'd in Shanghai (Shanghai'd in Shanghai)
