Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore New York, Boston and Baltimore They'll take you right down where you don't want to go If you talk too fast and you walk too slow Shanghaid, Shanghaid Been locked up and Shanghaid Shanghaid, Shanghaid Been locked up and Shanghaid I tried to live by the golden rule Do unto others and they'll do unto you Every time I get turned on I end up singing the same song I was crossing the desert on Saturday I met two women that passed my way They took me to a tent and they locked the door And all they ever said was "More, more!" And I'm standing right here with my usual slack Police got me for talking back "You're out on the street, you'd better watch your step If you talk too loud, now button your lip" Sitting in a bar in West Berlin Sipping on a glass that's low again Talking to a woman I thought I knew The lights went out and I did too
