Holy Smoke Lyrics

Your eyes burn,
but you’re far from the fires of Rome.
Your head turns,
see everyone dance in the holy smoke.
You say,
play me one for all my lovers,
play me one for all my brothers,
play me one for all the others
who will finally come home tonight.
Life in real time,
take me outside
from the screen time
feigning sunshine.
Glowing pages,
golden ages,
can you feel the fire
as the whole world starts again?
It’s automatic,
write your dream into overdrive.
It’s so erratic,
but everyone wants to be on your side.
You say,
play me one for all my lovers,
play me one for all my brothers,
play me one for all the others
who will finally come home tonight.
Life in real time,
take me outside
from the screen time
feigning sunshine.
Glowing pages,
golden ages,
can you feel the fire
as the whole world starts again?

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.
