Dead Dog Laughing in the Cloud Lyrics

I had a girlfriend
Made me scared of the world
I’d sit and watch the TV
Terrified of the soap opera
I was trying to sing to you
But you were scared
The Dead dog laughing in the cloud
I just wanted to walk with you
But you were tired
The Dead dog laughing in the cloud
I just wanted to be with you
But you were gone
The Dead dog laughing in the cloud
I thought you might help me get to heaven
But you were thinking of him
The dead dog laughing in the cloud
The dead dog laughing in the cloud

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.
