Lyrics

Big Money

[Verse 1]

Want land in the valley

There's pieces of you breaking off

(Pieces of you breaking off)

They wear the mark of Arana

The heat's too much

(The heat's too much)

[Pre-Chorus]

When the heat's too much and pieces get to breaking off

(Pieces get to breaking off)

Shaking hands by the water in water like a mirror

The image of a man and the visage of an old world

[Chorus]

Big money's in the basin, you don't come back without it

He's killing with abandon to get over the mountain

Got darkest rum from Mama, seething in the liver

Blood disease from Papi, poisoning the river

Nice and slow

[Verse 2]

A vision of an old world

Handed down, ushered out

(Handed down, ushered out)

They wear the mark of his anger

The heat's too hot

(The heat's too hot)

[Pre-Chorus]

When the heat's too hot he doesn't get to turn back

(He doesn't get to turn back)

Feet driven up the hill and bodies underfoot

The heel upon the neck and machinery intact

[Chorus]

Big money's in the basin, you don't come back without it

He's killing with abandon to get over the mountain

Got darkest rum from Mama, seething in the liver

Blood disease from Papi, poisoning the river

Nice and slow

Yeah, [?]

Ah, yeah!

Big money's in the basin, you don't come back without it

He's killing with abandon to get over the mountain

Got darkest rum from Mama, seething in the liver

Blood disease from Papi, poisoning the river

Nice and slow
