Danny & Lucy (11pm) Lyrics

Little Lucy out to cruise
On the road with pills and booze
Only sixteen years of age
She got her motherfucking life
Destroyed that day

Danny is twenty eight
The motherfucker is doing drugs
And just don't care
Falling down the line
Slowly losing grip of life

(Chorus)
Dear mother, listen father
Little sister, baby brother
Read this letter
'Cause I'm never coming home
I'm out with Danny
'Cause I'm tired of hearing
All the broken words
Of a better day
I'm fine with Danny
You broke your word

Dear ms. and mrs. Ness
I'm sorry to bring you this
We believe we found your girl
In an old burning car way up the hill

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.

This song is about two lovers, one a young 16-year-old girl called Lucy and the other a much older drug addict called Danny. Lucy has left her family to be with Danny forever, leaving a note to her family about how she's tired of hearing all the broken words of better days on the horizon from her parents. She felt compassion and a future with Danny, but unfortunately, the two of them get into a car crash as they spread their firesongs, mentioned in the previous song, which claimed her life.

The story of the song was continued on the next album with Mr. & Mrs. Ness, about Lucy’s parents.

I love how "Danny & Lucy", "Mr. & Mrs. Ness" and "Mary Ann's place" all speak about the same person. Not that much in Mary Ann's place, but Lucy gets mentioned
