Sunshine Roof Lyrics

Alive in the light on Monday
Alive in the light of May
We zig-zag on a bus to market
I know, I know these things will not go

Alive in the light on Monday
Alive in the light of May
Branches on the ground are shining
I know, I know these things will not go

I'm walking to the sound of your feet
We're moving into squares of sun
Our heads are golden, even mine is
Light on light on everything to come

There is a branch that's come down lately
There is a bridge not far away
Our heads are golden, even mine is

I'm walking to the sound of your feet
We're moving into squares of sun
Our heads are golden, even mine is
Light on light on everything to come

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.
