Black Label Society Whiter Shade Of Pale Lyrics

Whiter Shade Of Pale Lyrics

We skipped the light fandango

And turned cartwheels across the floor

Yeah, I was feeling kind of seasick

But the crowd called out for more,
yeah, oh yeah

And the room was humming harder

And as the ceiling
flew away

We called out for another drink, oh yeah

The waiter
brought the tray



And so it was that later, yeah

As the
miller told his tale

That her face at first just ghostly

Turned a
whiter shade of pale



She said there is no reason

And the
truth is plain to see

But I wandered through my playing cards

And I
would not let her be, oh, oh yeah

One of sixteen vestal virgins

Who
were leaving for the coast

And oh, and my eyes were open

They might
just as well have been closed



And so it was that later, oh

As
the miller told his tale

That her face at first just ghostly

Turned
a whiter shade of pale, oh yeah



Oh, and so it was, yeah, oh
later

The miller told his tale

Yeah her face was kinda ghostly

Turned a whiter shade of pale, oh yeah
