Soul Kitchen Lyrics

well, the clock says it's time to close now
i guess i'd better go now
i'd wouldn't want to stay here all night
the cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes
street lights share their hollow glow
your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
still one place to go still one place to go

let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
warm my mind near your gentle stove
turn me out and i'll wander, baby
stumbling in the neon groves

your fingers weave quick minarets
speak in secret alphabets
you light another cigarette
learn to forget (4x)

let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
warm my mind near your gentle stove
turn me out and i'll wander, baby
stumbling in the neon groves

let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
warm my mind near your gentle stove
turn me out and i'll wander, baby
stumbling in the neon groves

your fingers weave quick minarets
speak in secret alphabets
you light another cigarette
learn to forget (4x)

let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
warm my mind near your gentle stove
turn me out and i'll wander, baby
stumbling in the neon groves

the cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes
street lights share their hollow glow
your brain seems bruised with numb surprise 
still one place to go still one place to go

let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
warm my mind near your gentle stove 
turn me out and i'll wander, baby 
stumbling in the neon groves

your fingers weave quick minarets

let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
warm my mind near your gentle stove 
turn me out and i'll wander, baby

your fingers weave quick minarets

let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
warm my mind near your gentle stove 
turn me out and i'll wander, baby

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.
