[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Outro]

Tangerine

Tangerine

Tangerine

Tangerine
