The Lemon Twigs - Peppermint Roses Lyrics

The Lemon Twigs Lyrics

"Peppermint Roses"

I know I'm the only one, I know the score
I see that I'm the only one here
I lost the one who's near to me, my mind is dead
I can't believe the fear inside my head

Goodbye, peppermint roses
Hello, pretty red hat
Holy father approaches, and why's it have to be like that?
Bring my peppermint roses back

Who am I supposed to be?
Myself or me?
And how can I pretend to be that?
I lost the one who's near to me
My mind is dead
I can't believe the fear inside my head

Goodbye, peppermint roses
Hello, pretty white hat
Holy father approaches, oh, why's it gotta be like that?
Bring those peppermint roses back

Peppermint roses are written in the dirt
They're cutting me open
They're making me hurt
Wear your pretty white stockings
Buy me a resident cat
Bring those peppermint roses
'Cause I don't wanna ask again
Paint my candy cane roses black
