Standin' on a corner in downtown LA
Waitin' 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
LA lady, kinda shady
She's 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 sittin' in a hotel
Moscow's looking fine through the wine
Spaced out, I crashed out
When the KGB 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, I'm lookin' for coal
Oh oh - oh oh
Shanghai'd in Shanghai
Stood on in Tucson
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed
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
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 billin' 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

Oh oh - shanghai'd in Shanghai - shanghai'd in Shanghai - whoo ....
