Peacock Dance Lyrics

We'll stop in Babylon
You'll pull your stockings on
I'll wash your shoulders clean

Your eyes move with the spin
Of girls and boys women and men
I'll do a peacock dance

You won't be understood
I won't be all that good
We'll sing your favorite song

We'll live where foxes run
We'll wait for the morning sun
You'll walk on virgin snow

My head holds in the noise
Of girls and men women and boys
You make a peacock sound

My tears don't mean a thing
Your tears, beautiful thing
We'll stop in Babylon

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.
