Shady Lane

Blind date with the chancer, we had oysters and dry lancers

And the check, when it arrived, we went dutch, dutch, dutch, dutch

A redder shade of neck on a whiter shade of trash

And this emery board is giving me a rash

I'm flat out

You're so beautiful to look at when you cry

Freeze, don't move

You've been chosen as an extra in the movie adaptation of the sequel to your life

A shady lane, everybody wants one, a shady lane, everybody needs one

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh your god, oh his god, oh her god

It's everybody's god, it's everybody's god, it's everybody's god, it's everybody's god

The worlds collide, but all that we want is a shady lane

Glance, don't stare

Soon you're being told to recognize your heirs

No, not me

I'm an island of such great complexity

Distress surrounds

In the muddy peaceful center of this town

Tell me off

In the hotel lobby right in front of all the bellboys and the over-friendly concierge

A shady lane, everybody wants one, a shady lane, everybody needs one

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh your god, oh his god, oh her god

It's everybody's god, it's everybody's god, it's everybody's god, it's everybody's god

The worlds collide, but all that I want is a shady lane
