Jim Harrison (Is Trying To Kill Me) Lyrics

Sunk the skiff of off Key West
Crystal, tripe and calm incest
Soul of a poet, mind is a mess
Guilty by excess

Bought by a chick half Cherokee
She kicked my ass while she sang to me
Shot my foot in an UP storm
Just trying to stay warm

Jim Harrison is trying to kill me!
Jim Harrison is trying to kill me!

Stomach lining stuffed with grouse
Puttanesca capered sauce
Ate the snout trying to look cool
Painted my pants with puke

Taking the literary literal
Ending up with the usual
Drinker with a writing problem
What's a word that rhymes with problem?

Save me, Chinaski!

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.

Awesome. A song about Jim Harrison with a Bukowski reference tossed-in at the end for good measure.
