Pavement - Shady Lane lyrics

we had oysters and dry lancers

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

a redder shade of neck on a whiter shade of trash

And this emory 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, over 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

Stress 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
