Tangerine

Sometimes she slips into a coma

Nothin' there but the whites of her eyes

And sometimes she tries to brush her teeth

She's busy chasin' 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

I thought about it, and I don't get it

How could she forget all she had?

Chorus :

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 being swallowed by the TV

Or being pulled through a mirror

I don't know where she goes, she's staring at the stars

I thought about it, but I don't get it

How could she forget all she had?

Chorus :

I knew her when she knew the simple truth

And I knew her when she was

someone with something to say

She'd never throw it all away

I knew her when she was Tangerine, Tangerine

(Solo)

I don't know where she goes, she's staring into space

Well how could she forget all she had?

(Chorus as 2nd)
