As I looked out mid-flight down at the Chinese night Looked like inverted spiderwebs of traffic light Go back two hours before Skyscrapers watched in awe We took a cab in vain and in the haze we saw The words were cutting deeper than before When you claw You're heading down a darker corridor Then you went verbal on me Then I went down on you You didn't know what to do cause I do so well You dropped me into your bath I almost drowned in your bed And then the skyline sang A sounding Shanghai Roar The city didn't sound like this before Shanghai Roar It never knew how good it was at all As I got out in the street Out in the asian heat A walk of shame at dawn Your hotel called to me "Hey I'll be here in the night, ready to set things right" You know how stuff goes down When I let skin be torn You never knew how good that was before Shanghai Roar I never wanna leave here anymore But then you had to go I never wanna feel this anymore Shanghai no! I still recall the texture of your bathroom floor They always have to go I never wanna feel this anymore Shanghai no! Another evening staring at a hotel door
