Lyrics

there's a capsicum pepper plant growing out in the backyard 
there's a capsicum pepper plant growing out in the backyard 
and I, I am a monster 
I can't believe the thing I've done. 
I can't believe the thing I've done. 

there's a friend of mine living in Dallas 
about a two days' drive from here. 
gotta friend of mine living in Dallas 
and that's a two days' drive from here. 
and I, I am a monster 
I can't believe the thing I've done. 
I can't believe the thing I've done. 

and there's a cold wind blowing. 
and there's a silver bell hanging. 
and there's a silver bell ringing. 
and I, I am a monster 
I can't believe the thing I've done. 
I can't believe the thing I've done.
