Son Of Three Lyrics

I got an empty case of Wip-Its
No more time on the meter

Daybreak
About face
I think I'm comin'
Cross another country line
Are we there?
Convertible
Cookin' with nitrous
Crackin' in the air
I am the sign of go

While last night's stars were high
Now they're popping in the sky
And the band is jammin' in

Daybreak
I don't like it
Better tonight
Better for you

Buzzing flourescence
I don't what it wants from me
If I find the door
Then I am the son of go

While last night's stars were high
Now they're popping in the sky
And the band is movin' in
That's what you get
That's what you get
When there's no time on the meter

You get
An empty case
Of Wip-Its
And a boyfriend with a beeper

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song is an ode to the move "Go"

son of three/son of go, the movie "Go" is told 3 different times
it's about a drug deal

They are actually Whippets, little cartridges used in the food industry to make whip cream and the like with nitrous oxide. Recreationally you use a "cracker" to dispense it.

@reidmix excellent observation. Back in the day before cellphones, if someone had a beeper, they were either a doctor or a drug dealer. Usually a coke dealer. BTW, I heard coke is making a comeback. Sigh...
