Avalanche

Butthole Surfers

4

Mikey got with Sharon

Sharon got Sharee

she was sharing Sharon's outlook on the topic of disease

Mikey had a facial scar

and Bobby was a racist

they were all in love with dieing and they were doin it in Texas

Tommy played piano

like a kid out in the rain

then he lost his leg in Dallas

he was dancin with a train

they were all in love with dieing

they were drinkin from a fountain

that was pourin like an avalanche coming down the mountain

I dont mind the sun sometimes

and the images it shows

I can taste you on my lips

and smell you in my clothes

Cinnamon and sugar leaves,

and softly spoken lies

you never know just how you look

through other peoples eyes

some will die in hot pursuit

in fiery auto crashes

some will die in hopper suits

while sifting through my ashes

some will fall in love with life

and drink it from a fountain

that is pouring like an avalanche

coming out of the mountain

I dont mind the sun sometimes

and the images it shows

I can taste you on my lips

and smell you in my clothes

Cinnamon and sugar leaves,

and softly spoken lies

you never know just how you look

through other peoples eyes

Another mikey took a knife

while argueing in traffic

flipper died a natural death

he caught a nasty virus

Then there was the ever present football player rapist

they were all in love with dying

and they were doing it in Texas.

Pauly caught a bullet

but it only hit his leg

well should've been a better shot he got him in the head

they were all in love with dying and they were drinkin from a fountain

that was pourin like an avalanche comin down the mountain

I dont mind the sun sometimes

and the images it shows

I can taste you on my lips

and smell you in my clothes

Cinnamon and sugar leaves

and softly spoken lies

you never know just how you look

through other peoples eyes
