Just Answer the Man Lyrics

His heartbeat keeps me up at night
it's shaking the bed
resistance is so much more work
more complicated

I know the security guard
I've seen him before
he smokes on the stairs by the booths
doesn't lock his door

I need to be shaken awake
I'll sleep through the day
beside all the love that i fake
he might be okay

I can still smell the smoke in my clothes
on the floor cold and damp
choke on the tears and smother the flames

I woke up and saw you had left
don't know where you went
asleep in the back seat dream
it would never end

I can still hear you breathing at home
never sounding convinced
a quiet cough, catching a cold
thinking you'd found it
a cough, a connection
I'd end up in pieces
a broken collection
come over come over
I'm out of suggestions
pressed up against him
can't get any closer
and somewhere you lost him
he's flipping you over
you've got half an hour
and then it gets colder

I can still smell the smoke in the clothes
on the floor cold and damp
choke on your tears
smother the flames
just answer the man
just answer the man
just answer the man
just answer the man

Stranger's March

His heartbeat keeps me up at night
it's shaking the bed
resistance is so much more work
more complicated

I know the security guard
I've seen him before
he smokes on the stairs by the booths
doesn't lock his door

I need to be shaken awake
I'll sleep through the day
beside all the love that i fake
he might be okay

I can still smell the smoke in my clothes
on the floor cold and damp
choke on the tears and smother the flames

I woke up and saw you had left
don't know where you went
asleep in the back seat dream
it would never end

I can still hear you breathing at home
never sounding convinced
a quiet cough, catching a cold
thinking you'd found it
a cough, a connection
I'd end up in pieces
a broken collection
come over come over
I'm out of suggestions
pressed up against him
can't get any closer
and somewhere you lost him
he's flipping you over
you've got half an hour
and then it gets colder

I can still smell the smoke in the clothes
on the floor cold and damp
choke on your tears
smother the flames
just answer the man
just answer the man
just answer the man
just answer the man

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.
