Black Cross Lyrics

All I got is a Black Cross,
And two crabs in my left eye,
What you say you want you want,
Like a lump in your right thigh.

We're going left on right,
And I don't want to see you again,
Going left on right,
And I don't wanna be your friend,
We're going left on right,
And I don't want to see you again,
Going left on right,
And I don't wanna be your friend.

You the users of the wheel,
Stink of oil and electric eels,
Users of forbetten tools,
We must be the fools.

We're going left on right,
And I don't want to see you again,
Going left on right,
And I don't wanna be your friend,
We're going left on right,
And I don't want to see you again,
Going left on right,
And I don't wanna be your friend.

Cancel the world,
Erase history,
There is no future,
As far as i can see,

We're going left on right,
And I don't want to see you again,
Going left on right,
And I don't wanna be your friend,
We're going left on right,
And I don't want to see you again,
Going left on right,
And I don't wanna be your friend.

All I got is a Black Cross,
And two crabs in my left eye, 
What you say you want you want,
Like a lump in your right thigh.

We're going left on right,
And I don't want to see you again,
Going left on right, 
And I don't wanna be your friend,
We're going left on right,
And I don't want to see you again,
Going left on right, 
And I don't wanna be your friend.

You the users of the wheel, 
Stink of oil and electric eels, 
Users of forbetten tools, 
We must be the fools.

We're going left on right,
And I don't want to see you again,
Going left on right, 
And I don't wanna be your friend,
We're going left on right,
And I don't want to see you again,
Going left on right, 
And I don't wanna be your friend.

Cancel the world,

We're going left on right,
And I don't want to see you again,
Going left on right, 
And I don't wanna be your friend,
We're going left on right,
And I don't want to see you again,
Going left on right, 
And I don't wanna be your friend.

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.
