Tilt-A-Whirl Lyrics

Pretty day outside, let's have your funeral
Pretty day outside, feels so criminal
Pretty girls walk by big metal machines we ride
Pretty plastic dolls, with plastic eyes

I usually just stand in line
And I wait
To ride your tilt-a-whirl
I usually just stand in line
And I wait
Feelin' terminal on your tilt-a-whirl

Pretty day outside despite the temperature
Pretty day outside feels so miserable
Pretty girls walk by big metal machines
Pretty plastic dolls with plastic seams

I usually just stand in line
And I wait
To ride your tilt-a-whirl
I usually just stand in line
And I wait
Feelin' terminal on your tilt-a-whirl

I usually just stand in line and wait my turn to watch your tilt-a-whirl burn

Tilt-a-whirl
Tilt-a-whirl

I usually just stand in line
And I wait
To ride your tilt-a-whirl
Ride your tilt-a-whirl

I usually just stand in line
And I wait
Feelin' terminal on your tilt-a-whirl

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.
