Glass Printer Lyrics

Printer
Printer
Don't spring to high
Tried to take a photo of her ?
Pull, run, stylish classroom bulb
Tried to take a photo of her ?

Will you ever learn not to fly so high
Will you ever learn not to laugh so loud

Printer
Printer
Won't spring to high
Like to make this photo of you ?
Pull, run, pass, don't through walls
Like to make this photo of ?

Will you ever learn not to laugh so loud
Will you ever learn, ever learn, ever learn, ever learn
not to laugh so loud
Will you ever learn not to laugh so loud
Will you ever learn, ever learn, ever learn, ever learn
not to laugh so loud

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.

Official lyrics from album liner notes:

Printer Glass printer Tried to take a photo of his ancestors Poor unstylish classroom boy Will you ever learn not to laugh so loud?

Printer Glass printer Lied to make his photo ops seem uncensored Poor old passed on see though boy Will you ever learn not to laugh so loud?

If this is continuing in the spy theme, perhaps this describes an incident from the childhood of one of the spies, or an incident in which a false past is discovered?
