Traveling Salesman Lyrics

I'm overwhelmed by these sensetive beings
that watch over me as I drift into dreams
my coal filled eyes suffer from disbelieveing
they see my body, but its underneath me
I'm taking mental pictures
I hope to paint them later
with a dose of your hypnosis
I will tell you what I've seen

If you keep asking me
If I truly believe
I've seen the strangest things
passing over me
I've seen those flashing lights
stifle coyote cries
they are paralyzing me
silencing my screams

my coal filled eyes dont see a thing
until the light pours in revealing where ive been
my cold hands will caress the belly of this cloud
until I'm returned to the forest floor
safe and sound

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.
