There's a Metal Head in the Parking Lot Lyrics

Looked out with just a dollar fifty and I'm homeless for the day
I was lonely and cold so I walked down to the train station just to pass the time away
Wasted time, wasted day, wasted year
All I know is that I'm growing up so fast and it's scary as hell and I've got to get out of here

It looked so scary to me, it looked so scary to, it looked so scary to me
It looked so scary to me, it looked so scary to, it looked so scary to me
You know from a cold train platform I watched an old man make his way
slowly across the snowy street below
My heart goes out to him and at the same time I'm afraid
Some day it's gonna be my old body walking through snow if I live to get old

It looked so scary to me, it looked so scary to, it looked so scary to me
It looked so scary to me, it looked so scary to, so fucking scary to me
Wasted time, wasted day, waste a day, waste away
We're wasting 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.

It's about that feeling that you're going no where with your life and how you need to leave the place your in, otherwise you're going to rot there forever...

"Some day it's gonna be my old body walking through snow if I live to get old."

...I personally believe that this is one of the top three songs of the album. It's amazing. :P
