London To Shanghai

Gotta keep my hopes up high

Gotta keep my third eye wide

When you ride the skyline

From London to Shanghai

And the clouds gave way to light

A million megawatts bright

Watch high speed life arrive

From London to Shanghai

I'm flyin' sarsaparilla to my local cafe

While lookin' east, then fly towards the moon

Every day I send a text back to the centre of the old world

Tell 'em I won't be back any time soon

(Send a text back to the old world)

(Soon, won't be back any time soon)

I never dreamt the world would be like this

Never thought I'd ever fly

A great leap forward that got left behind

In another world, in another mind

The old gods die and the new gods arise

I'm way past end time

I'm livin' in real time

I don't get much sleep time

From London to Shanghai

And I couldn't wait to fly

I'm cutting every tie

I'm starting a brand new life

Won't even say goodbye

I look down over the wasteland

I'm flyin' straight through

I'm leaving everywhere I don't want to be

I'm going to a place where a hundred flowers bloom

Straight to the heart of this century, century

(I'm going to the place where a hundred flowers bloom)

Century, oh

And I'm glad to see the world like this

As people's square comes into view

The London Eye blinks at the TV Tower

I'm in the right place, at the right time

What a change in pace, I'm along for the ride

I bounce from London via India

I swim through air, sea and air

There's a million right behind me now

It's where it starts, where mine end

A giant revives, the new earth is live

Gotta keep my hopes up high

Gotta keep my third eye wide

When you ride the skyline

From London to Shanghai
