Killer Lyrics

If I was a pirate, sailing the seas
Would you come pillage the village with me?
We'll bury the treasure and go down together
If I was a pirate

If I was an outlaw, robbing a bank
Would you be my Bonnie, help me get away?
Would you pull the trigger and blow 'em away?
If I was an outlaw

How bad would I have to be?
How bad?

If I was a vampire, roaming the night
Would you be my prey and put your neck on the line?
Live in the shadows and die in the light?
If I was a vampire

If I was a wanted man on the run
Would you take a fall if we were under the gun
And drop down beside me in the nooses they've hung?

If I was a wanted man on the run

How bad would I have to be?
How bad?

If I was the worst man in the world
Would you still be my girl?
The scariest monster you ever seen
Would you still love me?

If I was a killer with blood on my hands
Would you be my alibi and lie on the stand?
Swear on your life that I'm an innocent man?
If I was a killer

How bad would I have to be?
How bad?

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.
