Black Suburbans Lyrics

Here come the black Suburbans
One, two, and three
Here come the black Suburbans
Looking after me

And I see myself reflected in the tinted windows
And I smile
I feel so safe when they're around me
I really hope they stay awhile

They got the secret numbers
They got the skeleton key
They got a tap on my telephone line
Finally someone who listens to me

And everynight I hear 'em as they crawl around inside of my walls
I guess I must have been suspicious or I'd never tipped 'em off

And if you're feeling lonely
Like just another so-and-so
Write a letter to anyone
They're be looking through your mail, you know

Here come the black Suburbans
One, two, and three
Here come the black Suburbans
Looking after me

And I see myself reflected in the tinted windows
And I smile
I feel so safe when they're around me
I really hope they stay awhile

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.
