Dance, Nils, Dance! Lyrics

Let me introduce myself doc
Take this sedative hold it off
My life seems to be wearing out
I am stuck in the same clothes
Smoke is rising it makes me sick
Listen close and you'll hear it scream
I am gonna get you
They say we always burn up quickly
But I
Will suffocate before
These flames engulf me
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
I cast the role I do insist you play the part
Raise the bodies
They will dance for you
Raise the bodies
They will dance for you
(So let's party)
Charred skin black bones I'm drunk when in Rome
Charred skin black bones sunlight take me home

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.
