Structure & Cosmetics Lyrics

black shag pile carpet
candy land monarch
medicine in plastic
discipline in argyle
i want diamond pattern fever
socks and knitted v-necks
to lock you in a house somewhere
with structure and cosmetics
i’ll be your voodoo dolly
i want you to control me
i will be free for you nightly
you’re human and you love me
in bobby socks and a knitted vest i’ll dust and clean our household mess
we are going to go some day be all that is nothing
our hearts and minds will just turn off
like argyle never existed
but it will live on in chests of drawers
like secrets behind bedroom doors
white cotton and water sport
when we are not electric
when we, when we
when we are not electric

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.
