Standing on a corner in downtown L.A.
|
Waiting for the man to come along
|
She comes up to me and says " Too bad, too sad"
|
You know that he's been dead and gone.
|
|
L.A. lady, kinda shady
|
She picked him up and took him home
|
|
I woke up groggy my sight was smoggy
|
And I knew that it had been blown
|
|
Early in the morning sitting in a hotel
|
Moscow's looking fine through the wine
|
Spaced out I crashed out
|
When the K.G.B. came on the line.
|
|
It's a cold one, bein' sent down
|
It's gotta be fifty below
|
|
Mama here's a postcard to let you know
|
I'm in a saltmine and looking for coal
|
|
Shanghai'd in Shanghai
|
Stood on in Tucson
|
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed
|
|
Flyin' across the desert from Texas to Tucson
|
But we're headed for a southern star
|
The captain says it's fine in Havana
|
This dude behind me needs a cigar.
|
|
He's a big one, he's got a big gun
|
I guess we better go along
|
|
Mister we've got a gig in Arizona
|
Second billing to the rolling stones
|
|
Shanghai'd in Shanghai
|
Stood on in Tucson
|
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed
|
Shanghai'd in Shanghai
|
Laid low in 'Frisco
|
Done in and left behind for dead
|
