Mud Lyrics

I heard the sound of a trumpet in the air
calling me from the town fair
but it disappeared

shoes hit the ground
and I ran into the town
but I left with the circus
and I left a mess

I couldn't sleep last night
I danced with an owl
I was overtired
I know that now

kick up the dust when you've lost all your trust
screw up your face
but don't let it go to waste

wheels all fell off
you're sent to the gravel
but you started to travel
far beneath the ground

angst on your face
you woke up in a new place
everything turned to green
your eyes blinking like a love-drunk teen

I couldn't sleep last night
I danced with an owl
I was overtired
I know that now

kick up the dust if you've lost all your trust
screw up your face
but don't let it go to waste

kick up the dust if you've lost all youy trust
screw up your face
but don't let it go to waste

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.
