Shadows growing long over Lydia Lane today
Raindrops trickle down from the sun they dribble on your cake
Eat up child your mama told you to apologize
Tastes bad, it's pain on your plate, got an appetite
A day in the sun follows two in the shade
It takes a hard knock kick in the ribs to get you over it
But downtown there's a place where little oligarchs play
Sandbox for the kids of the heirs of the day
They've got some shoes and some face paint
Grooving on Lydia, I'm a little ashamed
Hanging on Lydia, it's an existential mistake
Grooving on Lydia, sunlight soaking your brain
Hanging on Lydia, let me show you the way
You've got to slow down
Sweetheart won't you slow down
Take a little toke now
Fall on your face
Grooving on Lydia, you're a lion but you're losing the race
Jupiter is up over Lydia Lane tonight
Fortune swirls around like a smiling fog now
But out there there's a winking god star trying to laugh at you
Let down your sails, turn away from winds that never blew
Grooving on Lydia, I'm a little ashamed
Hanging on Lydia, it's an existential mistake
Grooving on Lydia, sunlight soaking your brain
Hanging on Lydia, let me show you the way
You've got to slow down
Sweetheart won't you slow down
Take a little toke now
Fall on your face
Grooving on Lydia, you're a lion but you're losing the race
