Grey Lyrics

good evening i unzipped my skin
thankfully unscrewed my head
exactly as i always do when i prepare myself for bed
and while i slept this co-co came as naked as could be
he put on the skin and screwed on the head
that once belonged to me
now that i have heard i'm doing things and saying things
i never do or say i tickle the children and kick the men and
dance my lady all the way across my bed
get out of town you filthy clown

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 think they got this from Where the Sidewalk Ends or a Light in the Attic. I remember reading it. Anyway, I love this song. And Sheil Silverstein kicks ass too.
