Midnight Moses Lyrics

Hey
Hey, hey, hey

Underneath the green veranda
Singin' love songs for mad maranda

They call me the midnight Moses
Everything I touch is coming up roses

Hey
Hey hey hey

Tell me where I'm going
I got no way of knowin'
I wish I was a forest ranger
Danger danger danger

Hey,
Hey hey hey

I had an afternoon fever
And when I flew out to Geneva
I just took me a notion
To fly right across the ocean

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.

I don't know I like this song, but that hey hey hey gets annoying. I know I'm not supposed to take this album, and subsequently this song, too seriously, but since a lot of times I listen to music in the background, the comical choices lose their effect...definitely rocking though.
