Pepper spray, also known as OC spray (from "Oleoresin Capsicum"), OC gas, and capsicum spray, is a lachrymatory agent (a chemical compound that irritates the eyes to cause tears, pain, and even temporary blindness) used in policing, riot control, crowd control and personal self-defense, including defense against dogs and bears. Its inflammatory effects cause the eyes to close, taking away vision. This temporary blindness allows officers to more easily restrain subjects and permits persons using pepper spray for self-defense an opportunity to escape.
Although considered a less-than-lethal agent, it has been deadly in rare cases, and concerns have been raised about a number of deaths where being pepper sprayed may have been a contributing factor.
The active ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin, which is a chemical derived from the fruit of plants in the Capsicum genus, including chilis. Extraction of oleoresin capsicum from peppers requires capsicum to be finely ground, from which capsaicin is then extracted using an organic solvent such as ethanol. The solvent is then evaporated, and the remaining waxlike resin is the oleoresin capsicum. An emulsifier such as propylene glycol is used to suspend the OC in water, and pressurized to make it aerosol in pepper spray. The high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method is used to measure the amount of capsaicin and major capsaicinoids within pepper sprays.
Nothing's written in stone, ever
With you
Tell me what would it take to make up your mind?
Guess you'll settle for what you have before you ...
But baby either way, you know i'll be fine
When you lie awake at night do you imagine touching me?
Does it cut you like a knife when she says,
"I love you." and turns out the lights?
Do you fix up a ghost to hold all your secrets?
Tell me how much did it cost to eye the evidence in their dirty sheets?
(Chorus)
You get in my eyes, and i'm really surprised that you showed me in your heart that day
And I can understand and it wasn't in my plans but you hit me like pepper spray
And I just don't know about you
I just don't know about the things that you do and why you treat me this way
I let you burn deep inside, its like your so deep inside,
when you hit me like pepper spray
I can see through your look all over my skin
With a kiss and a rub it felt so nice,
but yeah thats where the drumroll began
I've been waiting all my life to find this kind of connection,
when you get a little piece you pack your things so you can run back to your girl
(chorus)
When you hit me like pepper spray
((Outro - sorry dont know the lyrics...))
(Chorus)
When you hit me like pepper spray...
When you hit me like pepper spray...
