Alone at last Lyrics

Take the family guns and lock 'em all inside
I'm coming home
I heard you found someone.
Found someone that looks like me
But oh he's such a bore.
He locks himself inside and never speaks
I heard he laughs at us
Oh you know he really does

Well I'm callin the cops
I'm diggin for trash and the neighbors don't care
Cause I'm callin the shots
If you like it or not man
Believe me its already right now

Friends like cannonballs
Hit him on the head to dim the lights
And they're after me oh you know they have to be
Well oh hear the cameras roll
And hush as they picture us indoors
Oh you know you'll stake a claim
I hope you make a name for us

Well I'm callin the cops
I'm diggin for trash and the neighbors don't care
Cause I'm callin the shots
If you like it or not man
Believe me its already right now

The proof is in the shock
That when the curtains drop we won't know where to stand
So we're singin as hard as we can
Well like it or not man believe me it's already right now

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.

"The lyrics are a bit cryptic intentionally. This song, along with a lot of the rest of the record, is a lot about figuring out what I’m about and how I fit in, particularly in regards to my family and what I imagine their expectations are. There were a lot of things that I wanted to express without spelling them out literally and making myself clearly understood, so as not to upset anyone. I suppose writing songs with messages directed at specific people and then making them cryptic enough so that they can’t understand them is a bit paranoid. I also think it’s neat to keep the song ambiguous so that anyone can interpret it however they want." - Aaron Chapman http://www.paperthinwalls.com/singlefile/item?id=725
