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, yeah It takes a hard knock kick in the ribs to get you over it 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 Groovin' on Lydia, I'm a little ashamed Hangin' on Lydia, it's an existential mistake Groovin' on Lydia, sunlight soaking your brain Groovin' on Lydia let me know you the way You've got to slow down, sweetheart won't you slow down Take a little toke now, fall on your face Groovin' 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 Groovin' on Lydia, I'm a little ashamed Hangin' on Lydia, it's an existential mistake Groovin' on Lydia, sunlight soaking your brain Groovin' on Lydia let me know you the way You've got to slow down, sweetheart won't you slow down Take a little toke now, fall on your face Groovin' on Lydia, you're a lion but you're losing the race
