Shanghai Noodle Factory

Steve Winwood

In a Shanghai Noodle Factory
Place, where I once used to be
No where doing nothing
People there were made of steel

Tiny cogs in one big wheel
Turning never learning
Had to make a break
And soon, I had to wake up
Feeling stronger, feeling stronger
In my island of dreams with impossible schemes

In a Shanghai Noodle Factory
Place, where I once used to be
No where doing nothing
People there were made of cans

Packed like roosters in a pen
Crowing, never knowing had to make a break
I knew, I couldn't fake it any longer
Everything just aches
Soon, I'd have to wake up
Feeling stronger, feeling stronger
In my island of dreams with impossible schemes
