[Verse 1]
Lady Darkness waves her wand, reality drinks lysergic acid
Makes 'em rally through tough times, support your local steel

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Positive idea works again, so they say
Positive idea works again, it's so much fun!

[Chorus]
You're dying with a lampshade on
Dying with a lampshade on
Dying with a lampshade on
Dying with a lampshade on

[Verse 2]
Crawling little babies crying, crawling with five-dollar scandals
Can't believe little crawling babies, weeping stems are growing

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Provided in a twinkling of an eye
Cause they electrocuted you and lousy tinsel's back

[Chorus]
So really, you're dying with a lampshade on
Dying with a lampshade on
Dying with a lampshade on!
Dying with a lampshade on
[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Walking backwards, uptight feeling
Knowing somethings up and angels say
Just say such fun for fun's sake or

[Pre-Chorus 3]
They say Jesus, and they tried to sell their coke
Jesus Christ like trying to pee backwards
Once they get some champagne bottles

[Chorus]
You're dying with a lampshade on
Dying with a lampshade on
Dying with a lampshade on!
Dying with a lampshade on

[Outro]
Lady Blackness swings her wand
Dying with a lampshade on (On!)
Dying with a lampshade on (On!)
Dying with a lampshade on (On!)
