The Missing Parachute Lyrics

Give me your hand
I'm trying to do the best thing with these clues
And I'm sorry that so far we've both been bruised
And only barely did we escape the gunfire
And only barely did we escape the gunfire

I saw our man go runnin' across the parking lot at night
He ran up and grabbed me by the collar and held it tight
With one punch, I knew I'd be doomed to a life in bed
He said his fist was the size of my head

Hold up, don't shoot
I'm just looking for my mom's parachute

Hold up, don't shoot
I'm just looking for my mom's parachute

It's got something that she drew on it
You wouldn't understand,
For you're an evil man

It's got something that she drew on it
You wouldn't understand,
For you're an evil man

Give me your hand
I'm trying to do the best thing with these clues
And I'm sorry that so far we've both been bruised
And only barely did we escape the gunfire
And only barely did we escape the gunfire

Hold up, don't shoot
I'm just looking for my mom's parachute

Hold up, don't shoot
I'm just looking for my mom's parachute

I'm sorry, mom, I think I failed

Hold up, don't shoot
I'm just looking for my mom's parachute

I'm sorry, mom, I think I failed

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.
