Ladybug Lyrics

Ladybug, ladybug, ladybug
Kisses the bones pushing through, yeah
Everybody here seems to be in their heads but me
Twitching, twisting
Beyond alone spiritless and out of context
Ultraviolet bleed
Everybody's eyes seem to ooze from their faces
And now the sun sets in reverse

The devil's gonna dream when he gets home
Of ants upon the bone, yeah
Germs on public telephones

Ladybug, ladybug
Kisses the bones pushing through, yeah

Swaying with this wicked city
Twisting and turning with you, yeah

Everybody's eyes seem to ooze from their faces
And now the sun sets in reverse

Ladybug, ladybug
Kisses the bones pushing through, pushing through

Swaying with this wicked city
Twisting and turning with you
Turning through, yeah...

The devil's gonna dream when he gets home
Of ants upon the bone
Germs on public telephones

Ladybug, ladybug, ladybug
Kisses the bones pushing through, pushing through
Ladybug, ladybug, ladybug
Kisses the bones pushing through
Pushing through

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.

Probably, yeah. Sometimes I get the feeling that the majority of Daxs' songs are about plain old madness and paranoia. I'm sure that a loony would have a phobia of public telephone germs. The devil does too in this case. =)

Have to correct myself. The devil has been out all day creating corpses and putting germs on public telephones. He's satisfied with the work that he's done and so he dreams about it later on? Maybe "the devil" is just a metaphor for a really bad man. Plenty of those in NOLA. It definitely is a twisted city. One last thing. There's a big contrast between a ladybug on bones and ants on bones. The ladybug would definitely seem out of place there. They don't feed on corpses, do they? Maybe it IS just about an acid trip.......
