Turtleneck Coverup Lyrics

a turtleneck will cover that up
so sweat it out and keep your mouth shut
FBI (cover it up), CIA (cover it up)
JPL (cover it up), CNN (cover it up)
turtleneck (cover it up)
hope that they're not wondering why i'm never laundering
my turtleneck cover me don't let anybody see
everything i've come to be since she had her way with me
turtleneck cover me don't let any body see
from the shadows in the streets hidden eyes are watching me

even the wolf wears a disguise
so pull the wool down over your eyes
KGB (cover it up), LBC (rap the f#&k up)
MTV (cover it up), FCC (cover it up)
turtleneck (cover it up)

hope that mom's not wondering why i'm never laundering
my turtleneck cover me don't let anybody see
everything i've come to be since she had her way with me
turtleneck cover me don't let any body see
from the shadows in the streets hidden eyes are watching me

video cameras in the trees
documenting all they please
sometimes i wish i could rewind
video cameras in the trees
catch her when she comes and leaves
sometimes i wish i could rewind
i only wish i could rewind

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.

Ozma has said themselves that this is a song critisizing censorship, which makes it even more clever when they bleep themselves out in the "rap the f#&k up" line.
