Head Gone Vertical Lyrics

I'm on a train and I can't breath
But it shows me how and why to leave
as I ride for me, and I sigh for you

I'm on a train and I can't breath
But it shows me how and why to leave
as I ride for me, and I sigh for you

An old man sitting next to me (next to me)
Stares at me and adjusts his seat (adjusts his seat)
As he speaks to me and he speaks, for you

I know that I don't mind
and i know that you don't mind
but just ignore the passing time out there
curse your life and you'll be fine, i swear

I'm on a plane and I can't see
all the cows and hills and trees
as i feel my head resting on my knees

Slip one hand in my pocket and I
Pull out a dime and I flip it high
As it's heads for me and tails, for you

Maybe it should be a crime
To trust your life to one small dime
But I know that I don't mind
And I know this time that you won't mind

I'm on a train and I can't breath
Flipping coins for best out of three
as I cry for me, and I cry for you

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.
