PEPPER
BUTTHOLE SURFERS
[Verse 1]
FMarky got with Sharon
And GSharon got Sherese
She was Fsharin’ Sharon's outlook on the Gtopic of disease
FMikey had a facial scar and GBobby was a racist
They were Fall in love with dyin’, they were dGoin' it in Texas
FTommy played piano like a Gkid out in the rain
Then he Flost his leg in Dallas he was Gdancing’ with a train
They were Fall in love with dyin’, they were Gdrink in’ from a fountain
That was Fpouring like an avalanche, Gcom in’ down the mountain
[Chorus]
GI don’t mind the sun sometimes
The Fimages it Gshows
GI can taste you on my lips
And Fsmell you in my Gclothes
GCinnamon and sugary
And Fsoftly spoken Glies
GYou never know just how you look
Through Fother people’s Geyes
[Bridge]
FSome will die in hot pursuit and Gfiery auto crashes
FSome will die in hot pursuit while Gsifting through my ashes
FSome will fall in love with life and Gdrink it from a fountain
That is Fpouring like an avalanche, Gcom in’ down the mountain
[Chorus]
GI don’t mind the sun sometimes
The Fimages it Gshows
GI can taste you on my lips
And Fsmell you in my Gclothes
GCinnamon and sugary
And Fsoftly spoken lGies
GYou never know just how you look
Through Fother people’s Geyes
In Reverse:
G(I don’t mind the sun sometimes
The Fimages it Gshows
GYou never know just how you look
Through Fother people’s Geyes)
[Verse 2]
FAnother Mikey took a knife while Garguing in traffic
FFlipper died a natural death, he Gcaught a nasty virus
FThen there was an ever-present Gfootball player rapist
FThey were all in love with dyin’, they were Gdoin' it in Texas
FPauly caught a bullet, but it Gonly hit his leg
Well it Fshould’ve been a better shot and Ggot him in the head
They were Fall in love with dyin’, they were dGrink in’ from a fountain
That was Fpouring like an avalanche, Gcom in’ down the mountain
[Chorus]
GI don’t mind the sun sometimes
The Fimages it Gshows
GI can taste you on my lips
And Fsmell you in my Gclothes
GCinnamon and sugary
And Fsoftly spoken Glies
GYou never know just how you look
Through Fother people’s Geyes
