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
