letra de shanghai surprise - jeff whalen

in the year 2024
well before the great holy wars
when life was fresh and brand new

do you remember how we felt
when president l. roosevelt said, “it’s time to give up the goose”?

we were reeled and rocked
positively shocked
do you remember?

shanghai surprise
i can’t believe my eyes
shanghai surprise is comin’ dow-own
word to the wise: don’t believe no lies
shanghai surprise is comin’ dow-own

dontcha remember everyone was sitting and waiting
for the big transmission from the moon
all the business people digging up and trading
all the fossils in the ground of mars
for the petrol for to drive your cars
from the earth into the ground
and from the sky came a crashing sound

of jingles and jives, and stars on 45s
and action scenes rated ‘t’ for teens, god knows
he said-a “we come in peace but we’ve lost our lease and now
everything, everything, everything must go!”
cause when the ocean opens up its arms and takes you
there’s not much left of anything to explain
to your mother when she crashes in and makes you
go to bed and get a good night’s rest
in the morning gotta look your best
you wash your face then you ties your shoes
clothes you’re covered on the morning news with

shanghai surprise
have always symbolized
rain as the tears that are comin’ down
and when you’re alive, your love you cannot hide
so take your baby’s hand and go to tow-own

1, 2, 3, 4 – everybody’s counting
all the ways to put a hairdo on your head
4, 3, 2, 1 – and the tension’s mounting
well it’s a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 oh my
ya gotta keep your brain alive
6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 – the president better call the kremlin now

shanghai surprise
i opened up my eyes
and the shanghai surprise was comin’ dow-own
when two worlds collide, i’ll be by your side
when the shanghai surprise is comin’ dow-own
now i realize that i’ve said it several times
but the shanghai surprise is comin’ dow-own
shanghai surprise is comin’ dow-own
shanghai surprise…is comin’ dow-own
