Ding Dang Lyrics

You were working for a man
Behind a velvet curtain
You were good and you were certain
What you were headed for
But then snap
Her plan
Kalamazoo
No one behold
He was lying to you
And with revelation
Come repercussions
That have you at your end
In a great snafu
Your arrow bends

Did you set your sights on a target moon?
Did you help in some fickle false fable?
At last he's at the top
Put the diamonds on the bottom
What is a delightful dream
Or better expectation?

All things are not as they are here
That which must be far as it comes here
In a great snafu
It comes by and disappears
All things are not as they are here
That which must be far as it comes here
With a twist or two
Your brimming near to me

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.

I think these are the correct lyrics, the ones posted don't seem to match up with her singing at times.
