Shanghai Roar - Acoustic Version
As I looked out mid-flight down at the Chinese night
Looked like inverted spiderwebs of traffic light
Go back two hours before
Skyscrapers watched in awe
We took a cab in vain and in the haze we saw
The words were cutting deeper than before
When you claw
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 sounding 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 hotel called 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 bathroom floor
They always have to go
I never wanna feel this anymore
Shanghai no!
Another evening staring at a hotel door
Looked like inverted spiderwebs of traffic light
Go back two hours before
Skyscrapers watched in awe
We took a cab in vain and in the haze we saw
The words were cutting deeper than before
When you claw
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 sounding 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 hotel called 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 bathroom floor
They always have to go
I never wanna feel this anymore
Shanghai no!
Another evening staring at a hotel door
