Stake Your Claim Lyrics

Stake your claim
And take your touch
Make this pain
Not hurt so much
Come and save me...
Come and fix me up like new
Come and save me...
Do those tricks you used to do
I'll take my aim
And place my bet
I know this game's
Not over yet
Know what I want now...
Come and save me...
Come and fix me up like new
Come and save me...
Do the tricks you used to do
Gotta be there when you get the call
Got to be the dust that falls from stars
Got to walk it like you know it all
Take the universe and make it our
Baby
And just maybe
You can fix me up like new
Come and save me...
Do the tricks you used to do
Don't be late
Don't waste a beat
I'll lick your plate
It tastes so sweet
I will...

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.
