The song Shanghai Noodle Factory is performed by Traffic in the album named Smiling Phases in the year 1991 .
In a Shanghai Noodle Factr'y
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
And soon I had to wake up
Feeling stronger, feeling stronger
On my island of dreams
With impossible schemes
In a Shanghai Noodle Factr'y
Place where I once used to be
Nowhere 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
On my island of dreams
With impossible schemes
In a Shanghai Noodle Factr'y
Place where I once used to be
Nowhere doing nothing
Nowhere doing nothing
Nowhere doing nothing
Nowhere doing nothing
Nowhere
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
On my island of dreams
With impossible schemes
