Crooked Lyrics

Last night I had this dream that I took you out of power
All your plans had fallen through
You had ambition, and I took that too
I dethroned you
I'm now the king of this castle
And you will atone for your sins

You're always up or down but you're never around
Well, friends like you I think I'm better off without

Everyone is talking, but they all sound the same
All these singers singing, they play the same games
You're as crooked as the California coast line
So I'm building you a tornado to get back east

You're always up or down but you're never around
Well, friends like you I think I'm better off without

So hold on tight, enjoy the ride
And maybe your fear will subside
You're a real piece of work
I guess I'll be seeing you around

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.
