Arms and Danger Lyrics

Hours after after hours, our afternoon hours are after us now. Were all arms and dangerous, were all almost famous for it. And I've got names for it and they're all the same, I'd bet. Hours before you go, I still will not know if people or time will ever move slow. We'll be palms in paradise when the pearly gates see our pearly whites. So all palms in for paradise. The second coming of our birth rights. Do you know what you've got going good for you. I was born in 1968 to replace Bobby Kennedy, and I don't know how it all might go. Do you know what you've got going, good for you. No one could be happier for you.

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.

He does that a lot and it's generally pretty cool.. Unfortunately everything he writes is either extremely literal or extremely impossible to understand, so there isn't too much to talk about except "OMG SO GR8 IN CONCERT I C THEM LAST NITE"

By the way, this is one of the "impossible to understand" ones.
