Oh Pepper

from break for baby EP by thelongwoods

/

lyrics

crawling along broken glass
reaching for your hand extended last
kiss your feet but then you seem so cruel

i make a case for you to let me breathe
present the noose and then you show me the tree
look at my hands tattooed with ridicule

surviving here with no help from you
swinging from a branch with quite the view

hey Oh Pepper will you help me escape,
through the marshes to the pearly gates?
i found salvation in a box of smokes
but left my lighter in my other coat ... oh no...

walking through darkness but wearing a smile
to reach the land i dreamed of all the while
telling you i'd drink if you would pour

destitute but always wearing a crown
got my Walkman in a shanty town
traded my life to a handsome whore

surviving here with no help from you
swinging from a branch with quite the view

hey Oh Pepper will you help me escape,
through the marshes to the pearly gates?
i found salvation in a box of smokes
but left my lighter in my other coat ... oh no...

hey Oh Pepper will you help me escape,
through the marshes to the pearly gates?
i found salvation in a box of smokes
but left my lighter in my other coat

oh dear Pepper will you light the way,
up the stairs and through the winding caves?
salvation lies in a tobacco trance
take the air with me, feel free to dance
