Wilt Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hair-raising shake, you're much too late
You should have jumped a couple of cars before
Now, if I may, I'll walk away
I'm selling Silly Putty door-to-door
And up on the shelf, it seems to help
If I can keep a little bit of disease
As it's feeding on me

[Pre-Chorus]
You see it's bringing me to my knees
As we all wilt

[Chorus]
Watching you wilt

[Verse 2]
Come right away
And help me bathe away the filthy feeling, frigid and cold
Biting my nails to the fairy tales
About the magic monkey's total control
See, I got Indian Ken and his fleabag friends
With their buckets full of elephant ears
As he's breathing on me

[Pre-Chorus]
His breath is bringing me to my knees
As we all wilt
[Chorus]
Watching you wilt

Pea green the feeling

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
