Where You Going Lyrics

I've seen crimson roses growing through a chain link fence
I've seen crystal visions sometimes they don't make sense
You can see the future, it don't make no difference
Just don't talk about it, babe you know I love the suspense

I once build a mansion, then I tore that mansion down
I fixed up the penthouse, one day I burned it to the ground
Working in the basement, trying not to make a sound
I just keep on building and that wheel just keeps turning 'round

I remember when she was everything, everything to me
When that hollow sun has finally fallen in the sea
Where you going, where you going, where you going to be

I've heard golden laughter glowing from the jailhouse walls
I have seen a garden growing where the rain don't fall
I would love to linger but I still hear the mountain call
You and I don't need goodbye we'll meet at the fountain after all

I remember when she was everything, everything to me
When that morning star comes rising from the silver sea
You'll be going, You'll be going, You'll be going with me

I've seen crimson roses growing through a chain link fence
I've seen crystal visions sometimes they don't make sense
You can see the future, it don't make no difference
Just don't talk about it, babe you know I love the suspense

I once build a mansion, then I tore that mansion down
I fixed up the penthouse, one day I burned it to the ground
Working in the basement, trying not to make a sound
I just keep on building and that wheel just keeps turning 'round

I remember when she was everything, everything to me
When that hollow sun has finally fallen in the sea
Where you going, where you going, where you going to be

I've heard golden laughter glowing from the jailhouse walls
I have seen a garden growing where the rain don't fall
I would love to linger but I still hear the mountain call
You and I don't need goodbye we'll meet at the fountain after all

I remember when she was everything, everything to me
When that morning star comes rising from the silver sea
You'll be going, You'll be going, You'll be going with 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.
