Stare Lyrics - 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
