La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la SHANGHAIED!
It was a cryptic conversation.
Suddenly, I'm rolling in the dirt.
I try and stumble down the passageway, my head thundering with hurt.
And my condolence to your boyfriend, taken by this penny-ante scam.
Pretty soon he will be leaving for where I am.
x2
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la SHANGHAIED!
It was an endless filibuster.
Everything was said and nothing done.
I left there confident in victory, counting out the arguments I'd won.
I contemplate the unexpected,
staring at my hands upon the oar.
I guess it was my inclination to hope for more.
Ooooohhhhhh
x4
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la SHANGHAIED!
And...SCENE.
