Joyful and Myopic Lyrics

Let's go out and set fire to my things tonight
Let's go home and make love out of worry and fright
I just wrote a cheer,
"Rah rah, never fear"
Everything is wrong and you're right

Let's go out and keep up with the world tonight
Make believe we're strung out on the words and lights
Come in for a kiss
I'll put you on the list
Every song you hear will bite

Come all ye faithful
Joyful and myopic
Save me, oh save me, from happiness
Come all ye faithful
Joyful and myopic
Save me, oh save me, from emptiness

Do I seem sarcastic with my winks tonight?
Maybe I'm a bastard, call me Frankenchrist
Cash in what you know
Come over I'm home
I'll be anything you like

Come all ye faithful
Joyful and myopic
Save me, oh save me, from happiness
Come all ye faithful
Joyful and myopic
Save me, oh save me, from emptiness

Come all ye faithful
Joyful and myopic
Save me, oh save me, from emptiness
Come all ye faithful
Joyful and myopic
Save me, oh save me, from happiness

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.
