Tangerine

(album: Creature - 1996)

The flowers that I gave you
Dying slowly on the wall
The broken fragments of opinion
As the dirty start to fall
I'm not as fragile as I should have been
I might not disagree
But for the ignorance of everyone
Opinion's 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, love to see him waste away
Tangerining 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 start to crawl
I'm just as frightened as I've always been
I might not disagree
But for the ignorance of everyone
Opinion starts to fall apart

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, love to see him waste away
Tangerining like a rocket
Cracked the cock into the socket
Only if you'd love to see him waste away

Cause you're a child and that's alright
To let my deep blue sickness smother you with lies
And if I'm low, it gets me high
To have you shrivel up and waste away
Beneath the evening tide

Have you been this far
Tangerine, the bullet made you
Justifies the one who saves you
Laid him here, love to see him waste away
Tangerining like a rocket
Cracked the cock into the socket
Only if you love to see him waste away

Tingling, the bullet made you
Justifies the one who saves you
Laid him here, love to see him waste away
Tangerining like a rocket
Cracked the cock into the socket
Only if you love to see him waste away
