Chances Are We Are Mad Lyrics

In the corner of the sky
In the corner of the world
In the corner of your eye
Do you love him?
I've been talking to the river
A storm brings us together
Legend says we're swept away
Couldn't stand to look back
And remember that we didn't do anything
I would write a book
About the things
You said you'd do but never did
And take the book and burn the pages
And turn the rage I have for you
Into something good finally
Something good at last
Chances are we are mad
Nothing's changed you're the same

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.

One imagines Defever coaching his vocalists (on this LP, that'd be Karin Oliver and Karen Neal, I think) to maintain abstraction and emotional distance in their vocal work.

Even if only during a brief passage, it's an atypically passionate performance.

This set of peculiarly-beautiful tracks (Home is In Your Head) remains sufficiently complex to offer attentive listeners further secrets and surprises throughout a couple of decades, or more.
