Amphetamine Girl Lyrics

she only wanted to feel alive inside
three years of dyin' left her less than satisfied
her daddy told her "girl get out while you're young
do like your daddy says and not like your daddy done"
if she don't burn out then I guess she'll fade away
hand of the devil don't tread on me
don't run away with my amphetamine girl
hand of the devil i'm comin' clean
just don't run away with my amphetamine girl
she met the coolest junkie boy and paid his rent
he looked like jesus smokin' white trash cigarette
he said "now trust me love you can't get hooked on this"
now they don't sleep at night there's somethin' they might miss
if she don't burn out then I guess she'll fade away

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.
