Ballad of a Lonesome Villain Lyrics

I keep all my things underground
I keep all my bets on one game
I keep all my cups clean just the same
So long my baby,
A villain maybe in the end...

I keep all my love in the air
I love all my friends just the same
And I feel as though we're a dollhouse now
So long my baby,
A villain maybe in the end...

I keep all my keys on a ring
I know all my names have a secret
When I'm sad things seem to fall down around
And my sound starts turnin' upside down
And then people find me, lost and found
And then over and over, again, another sound
So long my baby....

So long my baby,
So long my baby,
So long my baby.

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.
