"Pumpkin Eater"
Lyrics/Melody by: Olivia Francis © 2011 BMI ~ARR~
Music by: Minime C./Joe B.
Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater
had a wife but couldn't keep her
locked her in a pumpkin cell
where he kept her not so well
Not so well…
Peter, Peter,
Not so well
Pumpkin eater
There she was stuck inside
void of love, void of light
used her fingernails as knives
carved her way out of his life
Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater
had a wife but couldn't keep her
couldn't keep her…
early one day he woke up
to puddles of pumpkin blood
and across the bedroom floor
were pumpkin footprints out the door
Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater
Peter, Peter
Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater
Break
Pumpkin smiles turned upside down
once loves candle flame blew out
he succumbed to the pain
ate his aching heart away…
Now on every Hallows eve
Peter moans in misery
conjures up her memory
chanting come back home to me
Come back home
Come back home
Come back home
Come back home
Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater
had a wife and tried to keep her
locked her in a pumpkin cell
where he kept her not so well
Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater
Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater!!!
