I'm An Engineer (And Things Get Weird) Lyrics

Close your eyes
I require my privacy
But with your eyes closed you look different to me
So they’re feeding me the seeds under the city sheets
They’re paying me to dream but then it’s cheap to sleep
I’m a cloud car coming down
Sounding around those who favor me
I’m an engineer and things get weird when they go right you know
I’ll be the cardinal if you’ll fly me through your backyard lawns
I am the camera phone on Cinema Street
I’m just a cloud boy coming down
Hanging around those who favor me

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.
