Shanghai

Let's move away together, Go interplanetary Maybe in Chinese weather, Where it's sanitary I'll go out trawler fishing, Yeah we'll have tuna steak I'm on a special mission, For us to have a break We'll climb the corporate buildings Spray-paint the outside walls You bet that they'll be yielding When the castle falls We'll swim beneath the ocean Near the coral reef I have a certain notion That it will not be brief We're going to Shanghai To watch the red sky We're moving to Shanghai Goodbye, goodbye We're going to Shanghai So don't you cry We're moving to Shanghai Looks like we might have made it Put on your silkworm dress You look so beautiful And I look such a mess Across the city's landscape, The sun burns crimson red Maybe the moon will wait, Before we go to bed We're going to Shanghai To watch the red sky We're moving to Shanghai Goodbye, goodbye We're going to Shanghai So don't you cry We're moving to Shanghai Maybe, maybe we'll have A fresh new start I'll learn the martial arts We'll have our own rickshaw cart We're moving to Shanghai --- Shanghai - Ed Harcourt
