Shanghai Tunnels

Lyrics

In Chinatown Underneath the streets They put something in your drink They bind your hands and feet And take you while you sleep And lock you up in the hold These legends do they get to you? They get to me When the steam engine wails And your skin is crawling Are these just fairy tales An imaginary monster calling It's easy enough to get A little out of hand A little more morose To take an extra dose Her lips a ruby red Her eyes a coral reef Her voice a perfect storm Knows just what you need Says just come with me The comets are dangerous The night a wild flame Naive and jaded and hurrying To do it all up again Cut like a sail When the hurricane strikes And there is no place to hide An imaginary shelter breaking I get lost in Chinatown every time
