Janitor's Dead Lyrics

Think you want another punch
Think you want a bunch of grass
Do you like the early night
Or is that the sun I sight?
Is your female here tonight?
Has she gone to Lincoln Street?
She fell prey to me today
Stabbed a tumor in her heart
Been away the live long night
Ahh, gone and seen another fright
You keep the people on the stage
Eat a diamond in this age
Fascinate the next step
But — a but — a but do fine
Drink a drink a drink today
Radio, I heard it say
Can you-a see me?
Would you like a master key?
Window’s broken over head
They told me janitor’s dead

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.
