To the Shore Lyrics

When your nine day feed is up
And you've drained your loving cup
Come stands reeling to the shore.
When the brave are coming out
The dry fight and the dusty shout
See you crawling on the floor
And diamonds stars shine glitter bright
Gorging your sanhedralites
Words are falling to the floor
Glands stand pouring fruit trees
Now they glisten on the waterline
See how you are at the shore
I'm moving Chrissie pretty flowers in
The shutter maze
Haul up all your petty desires
Leave them lying down before
Wash away the rusty disease
Of your brown town days in our silver sea
Leave them dying at the door
Feather yell you've time to leave
Open out your arms and breath...

Ahhhh.....

Ohhhhh
Ohhhhh
Ohhhhh, to the shore now

Ohhhhhh
Ohhhhhh
Ohhhhhh, to the shore now

Come on...

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.

I'm moving Chrissie pretty flowers in The shutter maze

So he is really saying that. I've spent years trying to figure out what he was saying. It sounded to obvious to be the obvious. Is this line like in "Hey, Jude?" The one that McCartney wrote planning to change it later but Lennon told him to leave it the way it was?

What is this song about?
