"Peppermint Roses" lyrics - THE LEMON TWIGS

THE LEMON TWIGS
"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

[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

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

[Chorus:]
Goodbye peppermint roses
Hello pretty white hat
Holy father approaches but why's it got to be like that?
Bring those peppermint roses back

[Bridge:]
Peppermint roses are written in the dirt
They're cutting me open
They're making me hurt
Wear you 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
