Body Bag Girl Lyrics

I think we met her downtown
Nice people, nice place
A peculiar Lady with a peculiar face
She says she's got some friends
They're gonna help her out
She looks like she could be lucky
Were gonna follow her around

Her eyes are sunk so deep
She's looks like she's the verge of sleep
She's my body bag girl
The body bag girl
Wu-huu-huu-huu

She says the stars in the sky
Were put there by her friends
She says the people in the gutter
Were put there by the goverment
Her eyes so bright in her head
She laughs like she's posessed
Wu-huu-huu-huu
The body bag girl

Well we'll hold on tight to the edge of the world
Well we'll hold our kite to the edge of the world
Her hands they shake so much
She's got a little rhythm of her own
She's a body bag girl
A bady bag girl
Yes

Wu-huu-huu-huu, a bo-bo-body bag girl
Wu-huu-huu-huu, a bo-bo-body bag girl
Wu-huu-huu-huu, a bo-bo-body bag girl
Wu-huu-huu-huu, a bo-bo-body bag girl
Wu-huu-huu-huu
Wu-huu-huu-huu
Wu-huu-huu-huu
Wu-huu-huu-huu
Wu-huu-huu-huu
Wu-huu-huu-huu

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.

I've heard it's about a girl they met while on tour of America who was a drug dealer selling 'body bag' heroin. One of their weakest songs, in my opinion. I love Shameless, but this, Alrite and Endless Psychology are just weak.
