Dog Walker Lyrics

Showdown at the battery
Showdown at the battery now
Showdown at the battery
Showdown

Put down that snowball now
Got no inclination to play around
Must be hard for you Draculas
When nobody’s scared of you

I take the long way home
Stay realistic and stay awake
My mind is a wrecking ball
And someday my mind's going to wreck you all

Showdown at the battery
Showdown at the battery now
Showdown at the battery
Showdown

Can you choose your weapon please
Don’t you know I come prepared
I am a dog walker
But someday I’ll be a dog

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.
