SHANGHAIED
 
 

     Turn the light out, keep it quiet
     Be still my pounding head
     Bring the room in for a landing
     Make way for the walking dead
     I could've gone home, but no
     I stopped for a drink or two, and I've been

     Shanghaied
     Victim of a very strange brew, I've been
     Shanghaied

     Pretty eyes, pretty smile
     Now it all comes back to me
     Fast approaching, forward motion
     Rapid fire kamakazee
     You were asking my name, just then my
     World starts to fade to black, and I've been

     Shanghaied
     Taken on an offbeat track, I've been
     Shanghaied

     Through the rhumba, through the samba
     Through the mashed potato too
     From the carpet, to the ceiling
     A lot of moves I never knew
     A million miles from who knows where
     And thanking the stars above, that I've been...

     Shanghaied
     Glad to be a prisoner of love
     Shanghaied
     Shanghaied
     Shanghaied
