Song from the Stainless Cymbal Lyrics

Get down child, you've got to find another way
Stop running' in the alley now, that ain't no way to start the day
I heard people talking 'bout the time you spent living' in the clouds
You know I ain't no fortune teller,
Still I hear your future singing' loud

Walking' in the shadows with a thousand shining' mirrors all around
Down some endless cavern like some princess in a rainy underground
Waiting for tomorrow and you've shaken what you had in mind today
In a world that's full of sorrow,

You're a winner still that anyone can say

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.
