Pepper Songtext
von Butthole Surfers

Marky got with Sharon, Sharon got Sheriff
She was Sharon, Sharon′s Alex on the topic of disease
Marky had a facial scar, and Bobby was a racist
They were all in love with Diane, they were doing it in Texas

Tommy played piano like a kid out in the rain
Then he lost his leg in Dallas, he was dancing with the train
They were all in love with Diane, they were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
You never know just how to look through other people′s eyes


Some will die in hot pursuit in fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit while sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look through other people's eyes

Another Marky took a knife while arguing in traffic
Flipper died of natural death, he caught a nasty virus
Then there was the ever-present football player rapist
They were all in love with Diane, they were doing it in Texas

Paulie caught a bullet, but it only hit his leg
Well, it should′ve been a better shot and got him in the head
They were all in love with Diane, they were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain


I don′t mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look through any other's eyes
