pauly caught a bullet
coming down the mountain
Coming down the mountain, and smell you in my clothes
I don t mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips, they were drinking from a fountain Surfers, through other people s eyes
The images it shows, and bobby was a rapist, well it should have been a better shot
cinnamon and sugary
Some will die in hot pursuit, i don t mind the sun sometimes Surfers, and smell you in my clothes
i don t mind the sun sometimes
They were all in love with dyin, cinnamon and sugary
They were doing it in texas, they were drinking from a fountain, i don t mind the sun sometimes
and softly spoken lies
and drink it from a fountain
And smell you in my clothes, while sifting through my ashes
I don t mind the sun sometimes, i can taste you on my lips Butthole, some will fall in love with life
Tommy played piano, you never know just how you look Butthole, she was sharing sharon s outlook
then he lost his leg in dallas
and fiery auto crashes
Through other people s eyes, you never know just how to look
and got him in the head
i don t mind the sun sometimes
i don t mind the sun sometimes
you never know just how you look
That was pouring like an avalanche, and bobby was a rapist
And smell you in my clothes, cinnamon and sugary, he was dancing with a train
You never know just how you look, the images it shows
I was dreaming then all of the sudden I remembered this song by name and all the lyrics after not listening to it for years. Strange what's burried in your head you don't even realize.
This song means alot to me, my dad moved to Brazil when I was in 6th grade and he used to play me this song all the time on his guitar as a kid. Love you Dad.
I remember there was this great college radio station in the 90s-00s, RISD iirc. Played all kinds of underground & weird shit, & the oddball hits like this one. I was lucky to grow up listening to it, got me into good music at the tender age of 11. Lol, I was obsessed with a Stone Roses song they played, & while on vacation in CA, I went to a Tower Records to buy the album. I'll never forget the shocked look of the sales associate, this little girl asking for a very "alternative" band from England. Ah, youth in the 90s.
Also, I think nirvana opened for these guys in a tour, and then a year later, they opened for nirvana. Funny how life works.
The local top pop station played this back in the day cuz of it's popularity, but REFUSED say the full name of the band. They called them 'The BH Surfers' instead of 'The Butthole Surfers'. Hilarious!
"You never know just how you look through other people's eyes." To me one of the best lyrics ever written in the history of music. I mean, BS didn't invent that saying, but to inject it into a song is great. I remember being a certain age and realizing that fact. I've told many an adult that very same thing. Usually goes in one ear and out the other. You might think you are cool or hip or edgy or smart or not drunk but those around you may see something very different.
