Seven Years Gone Lyrics

Seven years gone
Still Tim pilot the ghost ship home
He carried on
But now he's all alone
Dead on his feet
He hits the streets of Old Town
Without a dime
Sweet baby's breath
Can bring him back from death any time

Preacher Jack
High on crack
Quote the Bible
Pass the hat
Damn the pimp
Gone the gimp
Mike the ??? on top of Jim
Newspaper says: We support the Prez
The war on terror
Bombs away
How much is life?
And how much just are wars?
I can't say

Queen of Spades
Close the window
Pull the shade
She had it made
Back in the days of the flat top fade
Stays in her room
She owes the moon a fortune
She could never pay
She hopes and she prays
But the moon won't go away

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.

Few corrections.

Seven years gone Skeleton pilots the ghost ship home He carried on, but now he's all alone Dead on his feet He hits the streets of Old Town, without a dime Sweet baby's breath Can bring him back from death any time

Preacher Jack, high on crack Quote the Bible, pass the hat Damn the pimp, Gone the gimp Mike the Ape and Tom the Chimp Newspaper says: "We support the Prez, The war on terror ....Bombs away" How much is lives? And how much just got wise? I can't say

Queen of Spades Close the window, pull the shades She had it made Back in the days of the flat top fade Stays in her room She owes the moon a fortune She could never pay She hopes and she prays But the moon won't go away
