Smokestack Woman Lyrics

I ain't lookin' for
Lost salvation
You give me
Somethin' I can't lose
No lip, no conversation
I'm on the tip
You light my fuse
I bleed with satisfaction
You got me walkin'
With this curse
I need some interaction
I live in sin
Smokestack woman
Gonna' shake my soul
Smokestack woman
Take me down to the hole
Smokestack woman
You know you're
Gonna' wake the dead
Wake the dead
I heard
You're a midnight flyer
What kind of world
Do you live in?
You're preachin'
To the choir
Mother dandelion
Fire child within
It serves me right to suffer
I live in sin

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.
