十二 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 '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
