Shanghai Roar

As I looked out mid-flight, down at the Chinese night

Looked like inverted spiderwebs of traffic lights

Go back to hours before

Sky scrapers watched in awe

We took a cab in vain and in the haze we saw

The words were cutting deeper than before

When you glow 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 sound in 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 heart'll call 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 bedroom floor

They always have to go

I never wanna feel this anymore

Shanghai, no

They're never even staring at a hotel door

But then you had to go

I never wanna feel this anymore

Shanghai, no

I still recall the texture of your bedroom floor

They always have to go

I never wanna feel this anymore

Shanghai, no

They're never even staring at a hotel door
