Derailer Lyrics

I'm flying off the handle again
I tried to keep in touch but my grip has loosened
the saints need a second look
I'm at the boreal banquet keeping warm boozin''
derailed I need help
god save the queen I fucked up the ant trail
derailed I've been nailed
keep falling off the cross the crucifixion failed
I'm stepping all over my friends
I tried to dodge the bullet, but I'm a needy person
I need to get back on track
the pub's stoop pillpusher gave me pills to stop pushin'
derailed I need ale
to numb the pain and relax in hell
derailed I wanna kill
at the embarcadero on the third rail
derailer died for our sins, or was it just
another drinking binge
I'm in a different kind of tension
not to be discussed by professional theory
it's been going on for quite some time
derailer gets by there's no need to worry

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.
