[Intro: Stu Mackenzie]
Bye-bye, Shanghai
Bye-bye, Shanghai
Bye-bye, Shanghai
Grow wings and fly
Let's get real high
Let's get real high
Let's get real high
Transcend this life

[Verse 1: Stu Mackenzie]
I wanna drink from the beehive
I wanna jump from the tight wire
Like a moth into a fire
I'm gonna burn up on the pyre
Well, it's love at first sight
Moonstruck on these nights
Sing a swan song on a lyre
Fly away one last time, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Joey Walker]
When I first saw you
Lying there in wait
With your unearthed, buried smile
I sing to my duckling
Yes, you must learn to use your wings
But it is I that will be taught by you to fly
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
The distorted view from my misty window
Has a thin ray of light that's got a peaking crescendo
The moon is a clock face that's tick, tick, ticking with a crooked smile
We're all in the rat race, together, we go the extra mile
Knock the surrounding buildings down, I'm calling out for help
I'm shedding my skin like a snake slithering
You gotta stop the overwhelming self-doubt
Catch me dancing in the summer rain with my tongue out
Woohoo!
Yeah! (Ow!)

[Instrumental Outro]
