We Should Drop Like Flies Lyrics

Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around for me.
Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around for me.

We were four and now we are three Oh now where can my baby brother be.

I've got you and you've got me and me, I guess three is decent company.

Oh, Magill was killed, on a hill. I still hear him speaking to me.

Oh the thrill. Uphill. Gave his will to the games oh yeah and I'll give you this, three.

Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around for me.
Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around for me.

We were three but now, we are two. I guess two will have to do to do to do.

Well I've got you and a, you've got me. We are naked for the other one to see.

So up high, I guess you will die. Did you have to kiss the Police on the cheek?

Now my spaceship it seems so white and my thoughts are all so painfully unique.

Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around for me.
Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around for me.

Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around for me.
Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around for me.

We were four and now we are three Oh now where can my baby brother be.

I've got you and you've got me and me, I guess three is decent company.

Oh, Magill was killed, on a hill. I still hear him speaking to me.

Oh the thrill. Uphill. Gave his will to the games oh yeah and I'll give you this, three.

Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around for me.
Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around for me.

We were three but now, we are two. I guess two will have to do to do to do.

Well I've got you and a, you've got me. We are naked for the other one to see.

So up high, I guess you will die. Did you have to kiss the Police on the cheek?

Now my spaceship it seems so white and my thoughts are all so painfully unique.

Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around for me.
Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around. Wait a-. Wait around for me.

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.

Several mistakes and bits where to be honest I just made it up a little but together we can figure out what he's saying. Great song though. More of a mood piece I think.
