The Bell Pepper Blues

Intro

Mm-mm

Ooh

Checking the dial for a signal

Looking for something that feels like home in the dark

Way out past the stars

Waiting for the click

Verse 1

Cooking bell peppers with nothing else in the pan

Wondering how long a man stays hungry

He said he lost an eye

Said he sees only what was before

Life feels like a long dream

Just a sleep

Waking up only when it ends

Pre-Chorus 1

Jet black hair and a red rose

Falling down into the rain

Will we see each other again

Before the curtain drops

Chorus

See you space cowboy

Floating through the black

See you space cowboy

Never looking back

You carry that burden

You carry that load

Searching for a door that won't ever open

Just another ghost ship on a broken road

Verse 2

The pool hall is quiet today

Dogs eating noodles in the corner of the room

Smoking until my lungs turn black

I should have known

Yesterday is a thief

Taking pieces of the heart

Stowing away in the cargo hold

Bridge

Whatever happens

Happens

I am just a passenger

Watching the nebula turn

Until the fuel runs dry

Pre-Chorus 2

Don't shed a tear for the drifters

Running from a name they forgot

The world is a very small place

To get lost in

Chorus

See you space cowboy

Floating through the black

See you space cowboy

Never looking back

You carry that burden

You carry that load

Searching for a door that won't ever open

Just another ghost ship on a broken road

Verse 3

Rain pours down on the hangar bay

While the engine ticks away the time

A soft box of snacks for a tiny bird

Who never quite learned how to fly

But kept on singing through the storm

While the bounty hunters count their coins

Waiting for a wind that never comes

A gentle tilt of the brim covers tired eyes

Chorus

See you space cowboy

Floating through the black

See you space cowboy

Never looking back

You carry that burden

You carry that load

Searching for a door that won't ever open

Just another ghost ship on a broken road

Outro

Bang

Just a puff of smoke

Gone into the air

Bang

And the screen goes dark

Finally awake now

oo see you space cowboy
