The 99th Home Position Lyrics

If the man must be
Sleeping at home all the time
And the woman must be
Out working all the time...
Yeah, no matter which,
No matter which woman he has
And no matter how many
How many men she has
They all got to go...
Back to home position
They all got to know
The 99th home position
Do you want to work?
Do you want to be sanctified?
Oh do you want to come round?
Do you want to be right--do you want to be right?
Yeah see you in the desert, see you in the town,
Here's your precious life
Buried underground
I hear you singing
Hear you coming round
Now you are lost--
Do you want to be found?
Do you want to be found?
Hear me call...
Hear me call
Do you want to know...
The 99th home position
Yeah the man must take her
Indoors all the time
And the woman must take him
Outdoors all the time
Yeah no matter which
No matter which man she keeps
And no matter how long,
No matter how long he sleeps
They all got to go...
Back to home position
They got to know...
The 99th home position
They all got to know...
The 99th home position

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.
