My peppermint days are over now The sun now sour shines Ridiculous voices sing a different sky And I hide behind horoscope signs. My sandy beaches are lime outside They cry like flowing wine Absurd news is static in my grief Locked in a cage of time My peppermint days are memories now The light years closed away For any story told by children There is a lonely prayer to say. My peppermints I'll share with you If I thought thay'd catch your vision But you can only judge reality As if it were spoken out for you to listen

PEPPERMINT DAYS (1997)
My peppermint days are over now The sun now sour shines Ridiculous voices sing a different sky And I hide behind horoscope signs. My sandy beaches are lime outside They cry like flowing wine Absurd news is static in my grief Locked in a cage of time My peppermint days are memories now The light years closed away For any story told by children There is a lonely prayer to say. My peppermints I'll share with you If I thought thay'd catch your vision But you can only judge reality As if it were spoken out for you to listen
