The Beachland Ballroom Lyrics

They could hear me scream for miles, the silence ringing for days
The wind that turns the trees, made me sway, made me sway, made me sway

Doberman they stood proud, the ferns loomed as I lay
The waves slapped like shin to wood
And I laid, I laid, I laid

Inch by inch, foot by foot, I was on my knees for days
And then I set on all fours and I made, I made, I made, I made

I'm not praying, baby
I'm not begging, darling

I'm not praying, baby

I'm not begging, darling

Soon as the rush went away, I need not look for a way
Damage, Damage, Damage,

If you see me down on my knees, please do not think that I pray
Damage, Damage, Damage

Soon as the rush went away, I need not look for a way
Damage, Damage, Damage

If you see me down on my knees, please do not think that I'm praying
Damage, Damage, Damage
Damage, Damage, Damage

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.
