Cannonball Lyrics

The wheels are heating up to a bend.
And gasoline is leaking out like sin.
Its been weld together with my dirty hands
...dressed and ready for the party to begin.
I am ready to wait until it begins.
I'm curving as I cannonball ahead...
Oh...I know I can't go on like that.
So I'll go...
Straight to bed...
and then onto the next.
I was young when I grew thorns...
And got ripped up from the ground.
...and I have worked my body so thin
I am ready to wait until it begins.

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.

Only Nick Torres could turn such few words into such an amazing song. The "And I have worled my body so thin" part rivals the guitar lick after "I guess that's just fine by me" on The Gin War for my favorie Cassino part. Incredible.
