Measuring a summers day,
I only finds it slips away to grey,
The hours, they bring me pain.

*tangerine, tangerine,
Living reflection from a dream;
I was her love, she was my queen,
And now a thousand years between.

Thinking how it used to be,
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again?
And I do.

* chorus

Tangerine,
Turning Green,
Cellophane,
Window pane,
Socialised,
Paralysed,
Plastic Faces suck me dry,

Tangerine [X4],

[CHORUS X2]
I know it's sad,
Lifes just a piece of fruit,
Touch Down, new ground,
Stop Living on the Moon.

Twenty eight,
suffocate,
Take a ride,
see me fly,
Detonate,
feel it break,
See myself disintegrate.

Tangerine [X4],

[CHORUS X2]

See it as i climb,
The rain burns in my eyes,
So catch me as i fall away.

Tangerine [X4]

[CHORUS X2],

I know it's sad.

One, two...
One, two, three, four, one, two.

Measuring a summer's day.
I only find it slips away to grey.
The hours, they bring me pain.

Tangerine, Tangerine,
Living reflections from a dream.
I was her love, she was my queen
And now a thousand years between.

Thinking how it used to be.
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again,
And I do.

Tangerine, tangerine,
Living reflections from a dream.
I was her love, she was my queen
And now a thousand years between.

Measuring a summer's day,
I only find it slips away to grey,
The hours, they bring me pain.

*Tangerine, Tangerine,
Living REFLECTIONS from a dream;
I was her love, she was my queen,
And now a thousand years between.

Thinking how it used to be,
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again?
And I do.

* Chorus

Funnel down straight through the clouds
Like an ever flowing stream
Like an ever flowing steam
Take a bite of the fruit of life
Cause the fruit of life is sweet
Cause the fruit of life is sweet

You're my tangerine

Let the spirits speak through me
Ecstasy and energy
Let it come your wildest dreams
A full bloom's glow melts the winter's freeze
New day, stressless without disease
Would you be my tangerine ?

You're my tangerine

I can't stop searching for more and more...

Still hung over from the night before
Cosmic hunger, I'm your fruitful whore
Soul sun searching, let your spirit soar
Still hung over from the night before

You're my tangerine...

South American stories tell of a girl who's quite a dream
The beauty of her race
Though you'll doubt all the stories and think the tales are just a bit extreme
Wait till you see her face

Ooh, Tangerine, she is all they claim
With her eyes of night and lips as bright as flame
Tangerine, when she dances by
Senoritas stare and caballeros sigh

And I've seen toasts to Tangerine
Raised in every bar across the Argentine
Yes, she's got them all on the run
But her heart belongs to just one
Her heart belongs to Tangerine

the flowers that i gave you dying slowly
on the wall
the broken fragments of opinion
as the dirt, they start to fall
im not as fragile as i should have been
i might not disagree
before the ignorance of everyone
opinion gone to waste

and have you been this far
and have you been this far

tangerine the bullet made you
justifies the one who saves you
laid him here and love to see him waste away
tangerine like a rocket
cracked the cock into the socket
only if you'd love to see him waste away

the purposeful delusions
of this weakness will dissolve
the broken promise revidescent
as the anger starts to crawl
im just as fragile as ive always been
i might not disagree
before the ignorance of everyone's
opinion starts to fall apart

have you been this far
and have you been this far

tangerine the bullet made you
justifies the one who saves you
laid him here and love to see her waste away
tangerinin like a rocket
cracked the cock into the socket
only if youd love to see him waste away

cause your a child and thats alright
to let my deep blue sickness cover you with lies
and if im low it gets me high
and we will shrivel up and waste away
beneath the evening tide

have you been this far

tingling the bullet made you
justifies the one who saves you
laid him here and love to see him waste away
tangerinin like a rocket
cracked the cock into the socket
only if youd love to see him waste away
