Hang High

     
 

For all the holes inside your pocket

And all the times you sang the blues

For every time you had a tear in your eye

There is a dream that hides a secret

And in your heart there lies a clue

To everything you need and never say why

 

Hang high, we’ll get to Shanghai

Hey there, we’ll get to somewhere

 

And all the angels will be dancing

Their bodies softly swing and sway

Heavenly delights, so bittersweet

A midnight choir it will be singin’

Another hymn by Marvin Gaye

Like every Saturday night on Desperate Street

 

Their saying hang high, we’ll get to Shanghai

Hey there, we’ll get to somewhere

Half a million places, yeah you really ought to be

Give it up, forget them all and spend the night with me

 

And just hang high, we’ll call in Shanghai

Hey there, we’ll call it somewhere

 

Hang high, we’ll get to Shanghai

Hey there, we’ll get to somewhere

 

Hang high baby

Shanghai baby


Shanghai
