Nocturnal Pleasure Lyrics

[Spoken]
The entire city is burning
You can see the flames like the inside of a mad jukebox
Lost boys stalk the streets with those jungle markings on their
chest
Barbarians prowl in shadows their heads rocking with rodents
Motorcycles reproduce in nocturnal alleys
Groaning with greasy pleasure
And they've blown up the YMCA like a giant balloon
And sent it out to sea full of screaming, lovely, lonely girls

I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)

Bat Out Of Hell

Paradise by the Dashboard Light

Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad

Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are

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.

Not really a song, but I still think it's great stuff. Great imagery...
