Mechanical Eyes Lyrics

Driverless and circling car
Runs over its owner
Five accidents!
Man on fish diet
Grows Scaly Skin
Crippled dog
Helps boy to walk again
Five accidents!
Mechanical Eyes to the blind
Mechanical eyes to the blind
Milk without the cows
Honey without the bees
Do you laugh your greatest powers away?
Blink! Blink!
Mechanical Eyes
Mechanical Eyes
Five accidents!
Blink! Blink!

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.

A B-Side to the little-heard Song from the Edge of the World. Apparently the lyrics were based to headlines in New York tabloids.
