Sensormatic Lyrics

I set off your Sensormatic
A couple of big guys gave me static
They grabbed my head and threw me to the floor
Because my heart's a shiny object
I raise alarms, get held suspect
My heart is made of tin
I stole it on a whim
My distant self, I saw myself
I shook all night 'til it was over
From Kensington to East Harlem
I touched the water, watched it shiver
Hold him down and make him swim
The deeper and the deeper in
He's building monuments from towers
And if I slept a million hours
I couldn't tell the city from the rush
If I was out in California
I'd be chasing some Latina
And drinking mucho cheapo vino
A million miles from home
That never felt like home
My house fell down, they trashed my house
There are no strings that hold me tethered
I'd ride my bike the whole night long
If only I knew how to ride one
Hold him down and make him swim
The deeper and the deeper in
I set off your Sensormatic
A couple of big guys gave me static
My heart is made of tin
I stole it on a whim, yup

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.
