D.O.A. Lyrics

(Hey!)
I don't live here, I'm just visiting.
I have no friends and I just keep getting older, we're all getting older every day.
And when we keep walking around, walking around, walking around this type of town where it won't stop raining.
We're still waiting for our friends to show up. We're always waiting.
(Hey!!)
Came out to Olympia tried getting work through the harbor. Tried to not think about her.
And when the worlds spinnin' around, spinnin' around, spinnin' around--where are we now?
Where it won't stop rainin'.
And we're still waiting for our friends to show up! (Woah-oh-uhohoh!)
We're always waiting.
Then it stops raining--yeah it stops raining, it stops raining, it stops raining.
When it stopped raining my best friend showed up right at the front door!

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.

Here's the lyrics from insert that comes with the 7". For some reason the last line isn't printed and i can't quite make it out.

I don't live here I'm just visiting an old friend says he's getting older but we're all getting older everyday - anyway we keep walking around this tiny town where it won't stop raining

and we're still waiting for our friends to show up we're always waiting

I came out to Olympia drank and walked through the harbor tried to not think about her - anyway now I'm spinning around in a whirlwind now when it won't stop raining

well it stopped raining and we stopped waiting
