A Dancing Shell Lyrics

I sold myself
For a shot at the moon
And I sold myself
So I could be a big star

And I'll be your monkey
Every night
If it makes you love me
Watch me now
Watch me, watch me

Is that the way?
I never knew
Is that the way?
Oh
Is that the way?
I never knew
I was a waste

I'm not a human
I'm just a body
Just a dancing shell
Here to make you happy

I have no feeling
I have no thoughts
I have to make you love me
Watch me now
Watch me, watch 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.

Are you really an artist if you give up a say in the creation process?

If you're a performer making millions, touring the globe, endorsing brands, and influencing fans, is that what it takes to make it big today?

Can we really call these people individuals? A shell of a person full of talent and a forfeited brain
