Workin' Around Lyrics

Sun starts low, clouded
And I stumble up
Barely moving in a chair
‘Till I got to go
I can’t quit
I’m stuck to this working around

Many a moth said
Do you smell something burning?
Joke of a staff chalking a line
Half a bubble off
My bootstraps are busted
I’m working around

Give me just a couple of weeks to get sick of it
Is there some other way?
Making my marks and cuts on a walking stick
Is there some other way?
Coming off painting a wall on a holiday
Catching up on the phone
Can I catch something to pick me up
Working around

Day creeps up
And then a pounce and it’s over
Thinking of the time
That I took about six months off
All I really wanted was working around

Give me just a couple of weeks to get sick of it
Is there some other way?
Making my marks and cuts on a walking stick
Is there some other way?
Coming off painting a wall on a holiday
Catching up on the phone
Can I catch something to pick me up
Working around

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.
