In a Shanghai Noodle Factory
Place where I once used to be
Nowhere doing nothing
People there were made of steel
Tiny cogs in one big wheel
Turning, never learning
Had to make a break
Soon I had to wake up feeling stronger, feeling stronger
On my island of dreams with impossible schemes
In a Shanghai Noodle Factory
Place where I once used to be
Nowhere doing nothing
Villagers were plastic men
Packed like roosters in a pen
Crowing, never knowing
Had to make a break
Knew I couldn't fake it any longer
Everything at stake
Soon I had to wake up feeling stronger, feeling stronger
On my island of dreams with impossible schemes
In a Shanghai Noodle Factory
Place where I once used to be
Nowhere doing nothing
(Nowhere doing nothing)
Nowhere doing nothing
(Nowhere doing nothing)
Nowhere doing nothing
(Nowhere doing nothing)
Nowhere doing nothing
(Nowhere doing nothing)
Nowhere
Had to make a break
Knew I couldn't fake it any longer
Everything at stake
Soon I had to wake up feeling stronger, feeling stronger
On my island of dreams with impossible schemes
