In the Lurch Lyrics

I got a mess from the outside
Passing for a lifeline
Wheeling and dealing
To let the prayer
For the sparest change
Never be heard

And now we're stuck inside a cave-in
Buried under hatchets
But what is forgiven
To let the prayer
For the sparest change
Never be heard

I NEED SOME KIND OF EVIDENCE
WANNA LOOK IN THE EYE
I CAN'T HELP
WHEN I'M CRYING OUT
WHEN YOU LEAVE ME
HANGING IN THE LURCH

I know the distance that we offer
Will only ever cost us
An arm and a leg
But if we cut them off now
They will never grow back

So if we go and take our last breath
Racing through this labyrinth
And refuge is willing
I hope you hear me loud and clear
Because I've never been heard

I NEED SOME KIND OF EVIDENCE
WANNA LOOK IN THE EYE
I CAN'T HELP
WHEN I'M CRYING OUT
WHEN YOU LEAVE ME
HANGING IN THE LURCH

If you're a fatalist by admission
And you're tangled in the web of denial
Then there is only one way that you're going to get out
That's if you go to the source of the fire
Cuz it's a long way down
When you're waiting for the dust to clear

Drown All Your Witches

I got a mess from the outside
Passing for a lifeline
Wheeling and dealing
To let the prayer
For the sparest change
Never be heard
 
And now we're stuck inside a cave-in
Buried under hatchets
But what is forgiven
To let the prayer
For the sparest change
Never be heard
 
I NEED SOME KIND OF EVIDENCE
WANNA LOOK IN THE EYE
I CAN'T HELP
WHEN I'M CRYING OUT
WHEN YOU LEAVE ME
HANGING IN THE LURCH
 
I know the distance that we offer
Will only ever cost us
An arm and a leg
But if we cut them off now
They will never grow back
 
So if we go and take our last breath
Racing through this labyrinth
And refuge is willing
I hope you hear me loud and clear
Because I've never been heard
 
I NEED SOME KIND OF EVIDENCE
WANNA LOOK IN THE EYE
I CAN'T HELP
WHEN I'M CRYING OUT
WHEN YOU LEAVE ME
HANGING IN THE LURCH
 
If you're a fatalist by admission
And you're tangled in the web of denial
Then there is only one way that you're going to get out
That's if you go to the source of the fire
Cuz it's a long way down
When you're waiting for the dust to clear

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.
