Let's move away together, go interplanetary

Maybe in Chinese weather, where it's sanitary

I'll go out trawler fishing, yeah we'll have tuna steak

I'm on a special mission, for us to have a break



We'll climb the corporate buildings

Spray-paint the outside walls

You bet that they'll be yielding

When the castle falls

We'll swim beneath the ocean

Near the coral reef I have a certain notion

That it will not be brief



We're going to Shanghai

To watch the red sky

We're moving to Shanghai

Goodbye, goodbye

We're going to Shanghai

So don't you cry

We're moving to Shanghai



Looks like we might have made it

Put on your silkworm dress

You look so beautiful and I look such a mess

Across the city's landscape, the sun burns crimson red

Maybe the moon will wait, before we go to bed



We're going to Shanghai

To watch the red sky

We're moving to Shanghai

Goodbye, goodbye

We're going to Shanghai

So don't you cry

We're moving to Shanghai



Maybe, maybe we'll have a fresh new start

I'll learn the martial arts

We'll have our own rickshaw cart

We're moving to Shanghai
