I wanna drink from the beehive I wanna jump from the tight wire Like a moth into a fire I'm gonna burn up on the pyre Well it's love at first sight Moonstruck on these nights Sing a swan song on a lyre Fly away one last time Bye bye Shanghai Bye bye Shanghai Bye bye Shanghai Bye bye Shanghai Let's get real high Let's get real high Let's get real high Transcend this life When I first saw you Lying there in wake Like an unearthed buried smile I sing to my duckling Yes you must learn to use your wings But it is I that will be taught by you to fly Lit a starter fuse on my misty window As a thin ray of light, it's got a beaming crescendo The Moon is a clock face that's tick, tick, ticking with a crooked smile We’re all in the rat race together, we’ll go the extra mile Knock the surrounding buildings down Calling out for help I'm shedding my skin like a snake slithering Gotta keep the overwhelming sound out Catch me dancing in the summer rain with my tongue out Bye bye Shanghai Bye bye Shanghai Bye bye Shanghai Bye bye Shanghai Let's get real high Let's get real high Let's get real high Transcend this life
