Mark Twain Lyrics

i am number 44

pick the clay up from the ground
and mold us something special
it's not everyday we see what evil is
show us things we couldn't dream of
in the middle of war
i want to be frozen in fear, motionless
like the bodies buried in a row
we're black dominoes
set up for a action until a hand comes along
a force we need because we're free
from any morality
our heads our leaking fast
our ship's lost in a stormy sea

as we lean over the edge
our reflections don't look back
we are creatures of absurdity
and we don't know which way to row

put me back together to my original form
a torch carrying modern Promethean
i want to climb the mountain
i want to walk with titans
over that hill
i want to see the sun rising
when i push the boulder
i will not dwell on its weight
a struggle and a smile
keep my head on straight
gravel in between my toes
a secret many will know
kiss me child and tell me what your name is

mysterious stranger
will you tell us if there's meaning?
we are creatures of absurdity
and we don't know which way to row

i am number 44

i am number 44

pick the clay up from the ground 
and mold us something special 
it's not everyday we see what evil is 
show us things we couldn't dream of 
in the middle of war 
i want to be frozen in fear, motionless 
like the bodies buried in a row 
we're black dominoes 
set up for a action until a hand comes along 
a force we need because we're free 
from any morality 
our heads our leaking fast 
our ship's lost in a stormy sea

as we lean over the edge 
our reflections don't look back 
we are creatures of absurdity 
and we don't know which way to row

put me back together to my original form 
a torch carrying modern Promethean 
i want to climb the mountain 
i want to walk with titans 
over that hill 
i want to see the sun rising 
when i push the boulder 
i will not dwell on its weight 
a struggle and a smile 
keep my head on straight 
gravel in between my toes 
a secret many will know 
kiss me child and tell me what your name is

mysterious stranger 
will you tell us if there's meaning? 
we are creatures of absurdity 
and we don't know which way to row

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.
