Comic Books Lyrics

Long before I was 12
I would read by myself
Archie, Josie, super-heroes
I would read them by myself
I had the stars on my wall
14 was a gas for me
Batman on TV
I would cheer the super-heroes
They were all I wanted to be
I had the stars on my wall
18 I was guaranteed
I would lose my teenage dream
But it's so funny how I got to look
Like all the people in my comic books
Now I'm a star on my wall

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.

Debbie becomes a poster on the wall; just like the heroes of the comic books of her youth. IMHO
