Back of a Stranger Lyrics

Coming down the back of a stranger
I can feel my heavy bags now
I can see my life is in danger
Can't stop the weather when the hail comes down
I can see the preacher falling up above from the big blue sky
Listen up, you can hear him calling
Calling me up but it ain't my time to die
Ain't my time to die
Ain't my time to die
Ain't my time to die
Ain't my time to die
Oh mighty God, I can feel your anger
A revelation as my head hits the ground
Political priest or some other prankster
Hands in my pockets as he's stripping me down
Holy are some of his people
Holy to me and holy to you
Speaking up in social conversation
Nothing to say while I'm in the room
Ain't my time to die
Ain't my time to die
Ain't my time to die
Ain't my time to die
Ain't my time to die
Ain't my time to die
Ain't my time to die
Ain't my time to die

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.
