Porpoise Head Lyrics

Here I lay waiting for the bubbles to settle
I'm going down low where your sleep meets your mental
Two tries at killing me, they couldn't do it
I ran down the road with no shoes and no jacket
Here I go, dive away
Watch me dive away
Hey, porpoise head
Oh, porpoise head
I know young boys, they all want to be bad
Don't think it's madder to be a genius
Give me a lover who won't give me troubles
Some sexy dreams to chew on these bubbles
Here I go, dive away
Watch me dive away
Hey, porpoise head
Oh, porpoise head
I set sail with a tickle in my tail
I smell the bleach on the thin white sheets...
Here I lay waiting for the bubbles to settle
I'm going down low where your sleep meets your mental
Two bags in Lilly's hands just for the morning
Into the bathroom with cottons for swabbing
Here I go, dive away
Watch me dive away
Hey, porpoise head
Oh, porpoise head
Hey, porpoise head
Oh, porpoise head.

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.

Cottons for swabbing for filtering the heroin, two bags of it for two lovers. Maybe Farrell and co thought this song is about ultimately blissful love, having sex in seventh heaven. Personally I don't see it this way, though. To me this song is about being incapble of loving someone without something to tone down the terror of the being vulnerable. In an odd way this song is akin to the Stooges' Now I wanna be your dog, where the terror of being loved is toned down by contempt and domination, fueled by amphetamines and aggression.
