Flower Moon
by Brown Word and the Big Whine
Late-spring and she had me dead to rights
middle of nowhere middle of the night
found myself frozen in the headlights
she threw me a shovel "Now dig"
You see it all the time in movies
What does it buy
to dig your own grave if you're only gonna die?
I banked on running but not my own feet
I was face down before I heard the crack
Agony blooming shot in the back
So this how it feels
She shoveled some earth
then took to her heels
She went and murdered me
Beneath the Flower Moon
Was the perfect crime
I'm accomplice to my own demise
No one to testify
I'm the killer in the room
Nobody who'd save me now
Back in '03 we did in my old man
I banked he'd run but he swore
he'd rather die than lemme go
so I dropped him with the hellfire of my forty-four
20 plus years in chilling sweat
she's the other witness to his end
and he only exists as a cold case yet
so cleverly we covered it
As the eye can't unsee nor the ear unhear
she summons a way to keep her conscience clear
cocks back and drops me with precision
goddammit somebody's gotta live with this decision
when I get outta this hole
it's over
when I get outta this hole
I'm gonna laugh
in the face of the flower moon
when I get outta this hole
I mean business
the whole town is gonna know
You bet I'm gonna tell 'em so
She went and murdered me
Beneath the Flower Moon
Was the perfect crime
I'm accomplice to my own demise
No one to testify
I'm the killer in the room
Nobody who'd save me now
