Death Dance of Omipapas and Sons for You Lyrics

I want to dance so I don’t have to think anymore
About the steam cleaned caterpillar in the pinafore
I want to dance until the meanings of words are replaced
By the snobbish, foppish dandies with discriminating taste
Taking lady’s place and bouncing her face
Up the escalator to inspect the fey new blonde
I want to dance to the voice of the phantom oboe
Performing spritely melodies of a rococo
I want to dance to the rhythm of owls in a plumb
Who have fashioned tiny instruments plucked with their thumbs
No feeling is more safe than when you embrace me dancing
We don’t need to call any of our friends
Because I don’t even care who else is there
If dancing is your legs laughing, choking is your throat heckling
Cement grapes are falling (falling, falling)
Ah, but the limp nymphs are calling me to dance

I’m so sick and tired of always feeling down
Yeah, just sitting around, yeah, wasting my life
I want to dance, I want to dance, I want to dance

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.
