ZCMI Lyrics

Say if you see a vicious lightning on the nighttime sky
There's no use checkin' the starmap or aski daddy why
And if you get me on the wire I'll give you this reply:
See I'm comin' higher'n'higher over chimneypot'n'spire
ZCMI Yeah! I'm that high flyin' guy
ZCMI And when the moon sails by
ZCMI I smile and wave goodbye
ZCMI

Beyond the end of space to the future and back
In search of solid ground to plant our flag
Yeah! We planned to build a base but the sky was too black
See I'm comin' higher'n'higher over chimneypot'n'spire
ZCMI Yeah! I'm that high flyin' guy
ZCMI And when the moon sails by
ZCMI I smile and wave goodbye
ZCMI
ZCMI Surrender or die!
ZCMI I'm that high flyin' guy
ZCMI Yeah! I smile and wave goodbye...
ZCMI When the moon sails by....
Yeah! I'm the ZCMI

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.

Love this entire album. No idea what the song is about!

The vocalist (Jesper?) is absolutely blowing out his vocal cords and doesn't seem to care.

Rock n' roll y'all.
