Traveller's Fare Lyrics

Seems like a pumpkin that grew on the ceiling
Seems like a ceiling that grew on the floor
She's taking something to stop her from feeling
Anything
She doesn't want

Call up the doctor, prescribe you a person
Someone with bells from the opposite sex
What can you do? You're a guy with a curse on
Always to wonder
What's coming next

Seems like a party that's already over
Might as well see what they've left on the rug
Isn't it great when the only solution
Is taking somebody
Like they were a drug?

Isn't it great when you think you're in love with someone?

Isn't it great when you think you're in love with someone?

Isn't it great when you think you're in love with someone?

Isn't it great when you think you're in love with someone?

Isn't it great when you think you're in love with someone?

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.
