Last Train to Cool Lyrics

Three chords, yeah, they're yours
We stole them from your bottom drawer
Sixteen strings or something
Yeah, don't listen, 'cause we stole everything

Yeah, it's true, we got it from you
Don't worry, man, there's nothing new
Stay outside
There's nothing in here that you would call alive

With your own little shoes on your own little feet
You'll never win or lose on your own little street
When you're suckin' on your thumb and it's all goin' numb
And you're looking in the mirror and you're looking so dumb

Well, don't expect my invitation to come
In your own little can where you cut out the noise
You're too busy spittin' out mouthwash
Too busy spittin' out your own voice

You keep saying, "I've got a car outside"
Well, if that's true, child, go take a ride

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.
