The Lifeboat Mutiny Lyrics

The death mask of Judas
Is hanging on her wall
She's going to let everyone down
She's with her friends in the lifeboat
But she is the mutineer
She's got an urge to die
(But here friends sing tra-la-la)
She keeps up her smiling
But sometimes she wonders why
And what they'll all say
When she's not around
She takes her time with her lipstick
And makes her body shine
In sleep she's beautiful and flying
She's like a zoo animal who's frustrated by her cage
I need, I need to be outside
Real life could never measure up to my imagination
This beauty feels like ugliness
I'm still a little girl but they treat me like a grownup
Real life could never measure up to my imagination
This beauty feels like ugliness
I'm still a little girl

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.
