The Optimist / Salt and Pepper

 Salt and Pepper / aircrashdetectives/paypal.me

Verse 1

Dad’s dapper

Mother’s perfume

Reeks of juniper and coriander seeds

In the mirror

Her hair is shining

Like an oil slick on the wide open seas

 Verse 2

I heard the rapper

From the ghetto

Died in a hail of bullets from a black SUV

But when he was a singer

She was a dancer

Like Tina was in 1983

 

Ramp

 I got fuel for your fire

A head full of diabolical thoughts

In a world full of liars

A spirit named Jesus

And a guy from the old Catholic Church

 

Chorus

They threw salt on the table

And pepper on to almost everything

And no matter how hot it got

She would always sing

Salt and pepper

Salt and pepper

She ain’t sang it forever

Probably won’t ever sing it again
