Jealousy On Tap Lyrics

Switch on the pilot flame
and pretend to sleep.
Until you wake up...
A trillion questions come
from your closed eyes.
I know you remember a promise
we once made when the walls were six hours thick.
Don't you remember?
But I don't dare speak.
The pilot flame to my thinking cap
is still red hot.
Jealousy is on tap...
I should hide the couch.
I should hide the couch tonight.
At your expense or at your request.
I get no rest...
I lay awake all night.
My eyes are feeling heavy,
but too much is on my mind.

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.
