Blind date with the chancer, we had oysters and dry lancers   And the check when it arrived we went dutch, dutch, dutch, dutch   A reder 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, 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 I want is a shady lane
