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?
