Please attach these lyrics to Buffalo Tom's Tangerine!
Breathless from the coffee I drop my newspaper down
Left my eyeballs and read about some other town
A blueberry flu and message that breakfast was nice
When you shoot your mouth off it's better to pay the price
She's a tangerine
Made in California
She's a soul fillet
Just a little haiku
To say how much I like you
Such a sexy way
Torn paper skin and invisible bleeding heart
Your words on the paper sure gave me a start
Your huckleberry flu and one plus one is two
So if I can't be me, well I might as well be with you
She's a tangerine
Made in California
She's a soul fillet
She could claw your eyes out
Baby dry your eyes out
Burn your life away
Addicted to the music, bound to start crack again
Watch an evening news show, L.A. blues again
Your California sunshine sure gives me a sweat
And your tangerine nectar's a taste I won't forget
She's a tangerine
Made in California
She's a soul fillet
She could claw your eyes out
Sister dry your eyes out
Burn your life away
Just a little haiku
To say how much I like you
Just a little haiku
To say how much I like you
Just a little haiku
