It Rang Eleven Times Lyrics

I programmed my abdomen
I don’t think about it anymore
It doesn’t tell me what to do
I got the network to my nerves now
It’s oh so automatic
I just command the boat inside the house
You can’t chew well because it feels like a foreign object in your mouth
Well screw my brains
I screwed your
Go take a jump off a cliff
Yeah, just don’t look down
Splat!
Way down there
You’re laughing so loudly
You’re sure a funny thing
You can take all your laughter
And scream at the night
I’ll never go with you
I’m the one that’s there

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.

It was 11 o'clock when the lyrics were written. A song concerned with self-control and being your own person.
