Shady Lane/J Vs. S - Pavement

Blind date with a 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 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 his God, oh her God, oh your God

It’s everybody’s God, it’s everybody’s God

It’s everybody’s God, it’s everybody’s God

The worlds collide

And all that I 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

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 his God, oh her God, oh your 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
