The Senator's Daughter Lyrics

Hockey teams have playoff dreams
Teenage girls read magazines
No one hears the desperate screams of the techno DJ
What does he say?
He say
Sha la la la la la
He say
Sha la la la la la

I'm floating away
On oceans of grey-blue water
I'm rising above
I'm falling in love with the senator's daughter
I'm floating away

On oceans of grey-blue water
I'm rising above
I'm falling in love with the senator's daughter

Crossing gaurds, star traffic jams
Soccer moms drive minivans
No one sees the anchor man on the instant replay
What does she say?
She say
Sha la la la la la
She say
Sha la la la la la

I'm floating away
On oceans of grey-blue water
I'm rising above
I'm falling in love with the senator's daughter
I'm floating away
On oceans of grey-blue water
I'm rising above
I'm falling in love with the senator's daughter

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.
