Delirious Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I went down to dock number ten
To see what just came in

[Chorus]
They seemed a little bit mysterious
I think I'm gonna get delirious
Delirious
Delirious

[Verse 2]
I got nailed in a raid last night
They tried to haul me off to jail

[Chorus]
Things were looking kind of serious
Until everybody got delirious
Delirious
Delirious

[Verse 3]
I fell into a hand of cards
And almost blew the night away

[Chorus]
Things were looking kind of furious
Until everybody got delirious
Delirious
Delirious
See ZZ Top Live
Get tickets as low as $25
[Verse 4]
I overloaded and I saw the light
Decadence was on my mind

[Chorus]
Everything was getting ridiculous
Until everybody get delirious
Delirious
Delirious

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 [?]
