The Lemon Twigs
Peppermint Roses
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Goodbye peppermint roses
Hello pretty red hat
Holy Father approaches
And why's it have to be like that?
Bring my peppermint roses back

[Verse 2]
Who am I supposed to be
Myself or me
And how can I pretend to be that?
I lost thе one who's near to me
My mind is dеad
I can't believe the fear inside my head

[Chorus]
Goodbye peppermint roses
Hello pretty white hat
Holy Father approaches
But why's it gotta be like that?
Bring those peppermint roses back
[Bridge]
Peppermint roses (They're written)
Are written in the dirt (They're written)
They're cutting me open (They're making)
They're making me hurt

[Outro]
Wear your pretty white stockings (Pretty white stockings)
Buy me a resident cat
But bring those peppermint roses
'Cause I don't wanna ask again
Paint my candy cane roses black
