Shuffle, Kick, Hum A Tune Lyrics

Keep your crumbling eyes from the gray sky. It can only make living a chore to come so many miles on broken legs, please don't put yourself through any more. Keep your arms by your side from now on. Believe in the power of jet planes. Leave note on the pillow for lovers sake, cuz no one is safe in these arms. You should be screaming for help for your life. And long walks cross black top, etched fields. On my stomach now: a shoulder. Its not right that I fight being mean to you. Amen, goodnight and turn out the lights. I know where you'll be. Sundown all over town, tuck yourself in strong. Gray and blue striping over you, apples and sunsets and almonds too.

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.

Amen, goodnight and turn out the lights I know where you'll be. Sundown all over town, tuck yourself in strong.

Gray and blue striping over you, apples and sunsets and almonds too. Gray and blue on my walk home from you I could come back, I could come back if you wanted me to.
