Pepper Lyrics
[00:23.90] Marky got with Sharon, Sharon got Sherice
[00:27.06] She was sharin' Sharon's outlook on the topic of disease
[00:29.99] Mikey had a facial scar, and Bobby was a racist
[00:33.17] They were all in love with dyin', they were doin' it in Texas
[00:36.29] Tommy played piano like a kid out in the rain
[00:38.95] Then he lost his leg in Dallas, he was dancin' with a train
[00:42.10] They were all in love with dyin', they were drinking from a fountain
[00:45.01] That was pourin' like an avalanche comin' down the mountain
[00:48.49] I don't mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows
[00:54.01] I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
[00:59.92] Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
[01:06.30] You never know just how you look through other people's eyes
[01:12.90]
[01:30.33] Some will die in hot pursuit in fiery auto crashes
[01:33.25] Some will die in hot pursuit while sifting through my ashes
[01:36.30] Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain
[01:39.22] That is pouring like an avalanche comin' down the mountain
[01:42.42] I don't mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows
[01:47.95] I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
[01:53.72] Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
[01:59.76] You never know just how you look through other people's eyes
[02:06.61]
[02:24.60] Another Mikey took a knife while arguing in traffic
[02:27.30] Flipper died a natural death, he caught a nasty virus
[02:30.36] Then there was the ever present football player-rapist
[02:33.38] They were all in love with dyin', they were doin' it in Texas
[02:36.39] Paulie caught a bullet, but it only hit his leg
[02:39.15] Well, it should have been a better shot, and got him in the head
[02:42.04] They were all in love with dyin', they were drinkin' from a fountain
[02:45.14] That was pourin' like an avalanche comin' down the mountain
[02:48.54] I don't mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows
[02:53.94] I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
[03:00.08] Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
[03:06.14] You never know just how you look through other people's eyes
[03:09.81]
