Flower Man Lyrics

Flower man, flower man
When are you gonna grow
When are you gonna lay down
Everything you know

Flower man, flower man
How are you gonna sleep
With all these people
Cutting down your feet

Flower man... (flower man)
Flower man... (Flower man)

Flower man, flower man
Your head's above the rest
If you're gonna trust them
They gotta pass the test

Flower man, flower man
You've living in the sun
Shattered and hollow
You shine for everyone

Flower man... (flower man)
Flower man... (flower man)

Taken enough to hurt you
And all the things they say
So put on your armor
And stand in the rain
You're wearing the target
That took so long to earn
And you start looking sideways
With every turn
And you start looking sideways
With every turn

Flower man... (flower man)
Flower man... (flower man)

Flower man... (flower man)
Flower man... (flower man)
Flower man

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.

This song is on the x-files soundtrack and fits perfectly , since mulder is the same way as the man in this song.
