Butthole Surfers - Pepper Lyrics






Marky got with Sharon, Sharon got Cherise
She was sharing Sharon's outlook on the topic of disease
Mikey had a facial scar and Bobby was a racist
They were all in love with dying, they were doing it in Texas
Tommy played piano like a kid out in the rain
And then he lost his leg in Dallas, he was dancing with a train

They were all in love with dying
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

[In Reverse:]
(I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
You never know just how you look
Through other people's eyes)

Another Mikey took a knife while arguing in traffic
Flipper died a natural death he caught a nasty virus
Then there was the ever present football-player rapist
They were all in love with dying, they were doing it in Texas
Paulie caught a bullet but it only hit his leg
While it should've been a better shot and got him in the head

They were all in love with dying
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 other people's eyes

    This reminds me of my youth. The mornings when you were going home and you can smell the girl on your lips and cloths. The adults looking at you and you thought for a fleeting second wonder what they are thinking? Now I know.

    As a kid who was born in the early 2000’s im glad to say this is the only thing i enjoy listening to

  35. R.... ....

    This song is just another product of main stream record companies of the time. The 90's was filled with all sorts of music that had the same background beat (either slowed down or sped up). It's a drum loop called the amen break. These artists were not groundbreaking, they were products of record companies recycling beats from the 1960's.

  36. T.... y....

    I used to be scared of this song now it’s my favorite

  37. s.... ....

    the cover art makes me cringe lol great song though

  41. s.... o....

    I don't own any right to any of this music it is strictly for the sole purpose, all the credit goes to the ones who put blood ,sweat , tears and hard work.And maybe a pencil in the ear.🛑

  42. J.... S....

    Flipper uses Windows.

  43. H.... ....

    Hendrix vibe

  44. E.... L....

    I ran into these guys with Bradley Knoll at the whataburger off Riverside in Austin.

  45. M.... F....

    Wakenbake with the butthole slurpers

  46. G.... S....

  48. m.... ....

    The first time I took X pills this song was blaring in the full size Bronco whilst the X just started hitting me. Very memorable moment.

  49. F.... U....

    it's such a bad song it's that good. let that sentence marinate with you.

    F.... U....

    It's not bad at all.

  50. S.... M....

    Very good song, Beck!

  51. M.... M....

    Chasing mavericks anyone

  52. i.... ....

    I love this song to death, but i hate songs like this where the guitar rift during the chorus makes it sounds so beautiful that it strikes a emotional string with me (no pun intended)

  53. N.... x....

    I used to love to listen to this song while I was rolling 😅

  54. S.... C....

    Pepper ... heyell yeah- !

  55. J.... F....

    This is actually what happens if you shove a pencil in your ear until it bleeds.

    Try it!

  56. l.... a....

    acid grunge incredible sound

  57. P.... B....

    Judging by the album cover, is this gonna be the theme song for the next John Wick movie?

  58. A.... R....

    Hey Jimmy. Follow love. It's no longer an option for me.

  59. K.... D....

    This song reminds me of my best friend who now thinks I’m human garbage🙃😔

    K.... D....

    What did you do

    K.... D....

    FeedMeSeymour, actually nothing and no I’m not just saying that🤦‍♀️

    K.... D....

    @Kibbo Derain so your friend just suddenly and unfoundedly turned against you?

    K.... D....

    Dragon Of Dojima , yes she actually did and she did the same to one of her other friends just out of the blue

    K.... D....

    Anastasia , suicide time 🙃👌🏾

  60. f.... ....

    Are You Experienced?

  61. S.... 8....

    Is it just me or does this sound a little like Loser by Beck?

  62. t.... v....

    D q año es esta canción??

  63. a.... ....

    As awesome as this song it, I'm sorry it's the one that gained the most popularity.
    You guys have done WAY more incredible and groundbreaking shit. ... For instance, Kuntz..... SERIOUSLY! Perhaps not the epitome of your ouvre, but close. IMHO.
    Also, that song "Alcohol," ........ the song ITSELF is drunk, isn't it? It's not you guys, it's the song. ;) LOL :D

  64. A.... J....

    Beck - loser (song)

  65. N.... B....

    Good song

  66. 3.... K....

    The sideways eyes bug me way more than the ear thing.

  67. F.... V....

    Your right , I was raised better . Ty for the heads up .

  68. G.... 6....

    I can taste you on my lips and smell you on my clothes cinnamon and sugary and softly-spoken lies
    Reminds me of my girl ❤️

  69. R.... P....

    The lyrics are inspired from some from some things that actually happened.
    One the things they are singing about is Aids
    They are all in love with dying they are doing it in Texas .
    Two chicks that bi sexual got aids and
    some other guys got it from them .
    I can't remember all the events that were referenced right now.

  70. Z.... ....

    I don't smoke weed but somehow this song instantly made me feel stoned.

  71. t.... m....

    I'm flying 😐 FML breathe

  72. K.... D....

    This song reminds me of my best friend, but then she moved a state away and now she’s not the same.😢

  73. W.... H....

    _"you never know just how you'll look through other people's eyes"_
    I will never forget this song. I beat the shit outta my roommate to this song. I remember at first thinking "i should stop hitting him" but then quickly thought "he wouldnt show me the same mercy", so i kept smashing down on him. I figured i was going to jail because he's a sore loser, but as it turns out i was smart to sustain the beating because he was too scared of me after that and also he was never the same. I honestly think i permanently scrambled that boy's brains LoL.

    W.... H....

    Wesley Hempoli sometimes you gotta lay the beats down bro it is what it is👍

    W.... H....

    OK boomer

    W.... H....

    What was the cause of such hostility?

  74. s.... s....

    Some will die in hot pursuit while sifting through my ashes.

  75. g.... ....

    Sifting through the comments to see of anyone else is named Pepper or lives in Texas

  76. g.... ....

    My name is Pepper. I live in Texas. When I was a child my brother would play this in his truck and tell me this is my song. I'm 23 and this shit still trips me out.

  77. R.... Z....

    Best song ever 💜 i always blast this when im in the car 👌💜

  78. p.... s....

    This song makes so much sense if you're from texas

  79. S.... D....

    Who the fuck is pepper?

  80. T.... R....

    Love the almost hurdy-gurdy sounds of the guitars🤘

  81. J.... R....

    Do they eat ass tho

  82. B.... B....

    LOVE this song!!!

  83. D.... L....

    Reading Festival 1992...awesome set even though I didn't know any of their songs...around the time their Live Double album was released...or was it double live?

  84. A.... ....

    1.25x speed ftw

    A.... ....

    Anarchius sounds like a hype song for an early 2000s bmx video

  85. T.... ....

    Pouring like an avalanche

  86. R.... H....

    hate to say it but after all I've been through................you never know just how you look through other people's eyes..........it's a true statement that you don't want to think about regularly.....

  87. M.... ....

    “You never know just how you look through other people’s eyes” daaammmnnnn

  88. C.... Z....

    He got one thing wrong... The football player rapist was at the university of Montana in Missoula. He wasn't a Montana boy though

  89. u.... ....

    the 90s was cool, we had tech kindof but the internet had not yet made everyone into pussies. (its 2019 and "pussies" is still ok to use... for now.......)

    u.... ....

    wait is 'pussies' still a safe word to say in 2019 or will the word police come after me?

  90. c.... ....

    the album looks painful... aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  91. M.... A....

    OMG yall YES, we WERE doing it in Texas.

  92. C.... K....

    Turn the playback speed to 1.25x.

  93. S.... A....

    The band name is genius.
    I think it's honestly supposed to be a filter. Their music is packed with talent and very genuine, but you wouldn't know that. Because they don't want you to know that. Not with a name like Butthole Surfers.
    It's a filter for music critics and elitists, because despite being goofy and ironic these motherfuckers are smart. And they know that music critics have no business judging anything.
    If you thought they were a one-off joke band, then you got subverted by artists who saw you coming from a mile away and didn't want your presence regardless.

    So that's my analysis on the Butthole Surfers.
