The Furnace Lyrics

Turn up the furnace and tap your feet
Lord makes us ugly and make us sweet
Give us lightning and give us coal
Make us hysterical

We don't want to go
where everybody knows
our names

Turn up the furnace and stomp your feet
God make us humble and give us heat
Give us muscle and give us soul
Make us heretical
Give us comfort and lunacy
Give us colour and make us clean
Break our narcosis and see us home
Make us tangible

Well we don't want to go
where everybody knows
our names
And we don't want to stay
where everybody stays
the same

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.
