Two Note Swivel Lyrics

Shoulders and knees
Elbows and waist
How can you be in two places at once?
You twist yourself all out of shape
Whoop, there it is, do it again
The world is fiction
Special effects
You can't believe what's coming next
Sparks of light
Balls of fire
Whoop, what are we living for?

Coming once
He's coming strong
He don't believe he could ever be wrong
He come to run
I came to stand
Pick it up, do it again
I got my [?]
I'm on TV
Wait a second, wait and see
A big [?]
A funny sound
Whoop, there it is, now it's gone

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.
