Tangerine, I love you
In the dark I dream of you
Could it be you came to rescue me
Just to play that perfect melody?
Hanging round your light bulb
Coming down your aerial
Because I can't get close enough, you see
To the concrete weight that's pulling me
Tangerine, I love you
In the dark, dreaming of you
Could it be you came from overseas
Just to dance that foxtrot here for me?
Hanging round your light bulb
Coming down your aerial
Because I can't get close enough tonight
To the heat from your red firelight
How long must I circle
Before we can touch down?
How deep must I swim down
To pick up what I found?
You're floating in circles
Waiting to touch down
Tangerine
Tangerine
Tangerine
Tangerine
