lyrics

brother's and sisters
do you care about each other?
walking across black sand
are you misled do you pretend?

senseless and suffering
in a prison of the mind
looking for promised land
but there's no one
holding your hand

but I cannot pull myself away
ghost of summer's day
no I cannot pull myself away
from this cloudy haze

we stood atop the sand dunes
we promised we would cross the shining sea
we made a play for freedom
like two lovers in a dream

we hide in shanghai
last stand on the island of blinding lights
we hide
in shanghai
give me a reason to stay

alley's of broken dreams
wounded spirits lost in time
underneath new buildings souls forgotten
millions past

reveling through the night
we are bathed in neon lights
running where history creeps
when the ancient city sleeps

but I cannot pull myself away
ghost of summer's day
no I cannot pull myself away
from this cloudy haze

we stood atop the sand dunes
we promised we would cross the shining sea
we made a play for freedom
like two lovers in a dream

we hide in shanghai
last stand on the island of blinding lights
we hide
in shanghai
give me a reason to stay
