Arlington Station Lyrics

My mother once said
That I'd be sittin' in a hammock
Somewhere after school sippin' lemonade, iced tea, limeade
Sippin' some ginger ale

She told me
Never go out in the winter time
Never wash the pollen off a bee's behind
With your hair skewed and feelin' fine

I'll be there
Arlington Station
I'll be there
Arlington Station
I'll be there
With bells on and every Rikki Tikki Tavi type of silverware
I'll be there
With bells on and every Rikki Tikki Tavi type of silverware

Back in my hometown
Where we all knew you were an astronaut
With all the shiny suit, funny jokes, powdered ice cream
Flashlights and underwear

We thought you'd never come home
And stay on the beach, stayin' after school
Stayin' really late
Sippin' some oxygen

I'll be there
Arlington Station
I'll be there
Arlington Station
I'll be there
With bells on and every Rikki Tikki Tavi type of silverware
I'll be there
With bells on and every Rikki Tikki Tavi type of silverware

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.
