verse 2
glance , don’t stare

tell me off in the hotel lobby right in front of all the bellboys and the
over – friendly concierge

oh my god , oh my god , oh my god , oh my god
oh my god , oh your god , oh his god , oh her 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 .
