Liberty swathes this city of shades
Like gloves on the wings of a bird
The silken smoke of the words you spoke
Still rises where you lay
Take me to Shanghai
Take me to Shanghai
To the town where I belong
The pathways were red the lanterns alive
Diamonds adrift in the sky
You're standing here when I close my eyes
This slumber leaves me blind
Take me to Shanghai
Take me to Shanghai
To the town where I belong
The night was mine to set alight
Every cord and every chain
Your hands were ice within the fire
And it burned like poison rain
The blood in these veins the streets that it stains
Fevers unbroken by death
Their shadows ride on this ruby tide
And the waves that toss my breath
Take me to Shanghai
Take me to Shanghai
To the town where I belong
