I Am with Name Lyrics

I was
Ramona A. Stone
I started with no enemies of my own
I was an artiste
In a tunnel
But I've been having a mid-life crisis
And I've been dreaming in a sleep
And ape men with metal parts
I've spat upon deeply felt age
I've hid my hearts in
And I hate the funny colored english
We'll creep togeher you and I
For I know who the small friends are

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.

to be sung by Ramona A. Stone and her Acolytes. near the end, the voice shouting "give it to me one more time" is actually Brian May from Queen after singing Hammer To Fall live at Brixton

This is sung by Ramona A. Stone, a character in David's short story, The Nathan Adler Diaries. Then, it turned out to be the well-known album 1.Outside or just Outside. Ramona is a body art dealer, selling the wildest pieces of art made from parts of the human anatomy. I Am With Name is originally the title of one of the Outside outtakes. And it goes more into the story and Bowie is palying around with her voice. Real interesting.

There's a school of thought that says this is Ramona confessing that she is the killer (the Minotaur)
