Tangerine Lyrics

Tangerine lyrics

Sometimes she slips into a comma

Nothin’ there but the whites of her eyes

Sometimes she tries to brush her teeth

She’s busy chasing invisible flies

Well, she’s a waste of a perfectly good day

And I don’t wanna hear 

About the little green men in her backyard

And all the shit you can fear

I don’t know where she goes

She’s staring into space



REFRAIN:

I thought about it

And I don’t get it

How could she forget all she had

I knew her when she knew the simple truth 

And I knew her when she was tangerine



Some  days she wears her junior prom dress

Heads straight for the grocery-store

Buys a razor and a bottle of pills

Then can’t remember what she got them for

Well, she’s a waste of a perfectly good time

And I don’t wanna hear

About how being swallowed by the TV

Or being pulled through a mirror

I don’t know where she goes

She’s staring at the stars



-REFRAIN-



Someone with something to say

She’d never throw it all away

I knew her when she was tangerine, tangerine
