Verse 2:
In a Shanghai noodle factory
Place where I once used to be
Nowhere doing nothing
Villages of plastic men
Packed like roosters in a pen
Crowing, never knowing
Bridge 2:
Bb
Had to make a break
C F
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
[repeat intro]
