Book of Reason Lyrics

I will take the left fork
I will meet you ten years from this day
That way you prosper
Find yourself a good friend
Yes it's hard to master
I have tried to follow every course
Now I learn faster
Implicate myself

You grow it chains me
Your instincts to honour
Let's all retire for the kings and the queens
Love has no place in this slim book of reason
Spark and ignite so bizarre

You grow it chains me
Your instincts to honour
Let's all retire for the kings and the queens
Love has no place in this slim book of reason
Spark and ignite so bizarre

Jane sleeps on tenterhooks
Some swear America adjusted her persona
Whispers leave her little town
Petrified of changes
Doesn't want to burn out
Doesn't want to live on promise
Implicates herself

You grow it chains me
Your instincts to honour
Let's all retire for the kings and the queens
Love has no place in this slim book of reason
Spark and ignite so bizarre

You grow it chains me
Your instincts to honour
Let's all retire for the kings and the queens
Love has no place in this slim book of reason
Spark and ignite so bizarre

Love Is a Wonderful Colour

I will take the left fork
I will meet you ten years from this day
That way you prosper
Find yourself a good friend
Yes it's hard to master
I have tried to follow every course
Now I learn faster
Implicate myself

You grow it chains me
Your instincts to honour
Let's all retire for the kings and the queens
Love has no place in this slim book of reason
Spark and ignite so bizarre

You grow it chains me
Your instincts to honour
Let's all retire for the kings and the queens
Love has no place in this slim book of reason
Spark and ignite so bizarre

Jane sleeps on tenterhooks
Some swear America adjusted her persona
Whispers leave her little town
Petrified of changes
Doesn't want to burn out
Doesn't want to live on promise
Implicates herself

You grow it chains me
Your instincts to honour
Let's all retire for the kings and the queens
Love has no place in this slim book of reason
Spark and ignite so bizarre

You grow it chains me
Your instincts to honour
Let's all retire for the kings and the queens
Love has no place in this slim book of reason
Spark and ignite so bizarre

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.
