Parody "Tangerine" (to the tune of Bush's "Glycerine")

"Tangerine"
Your "strong thick" skin orange in tint
It can't be for real 'cause Cheetos can't speak
And Cheetos mind
Syracuse too
Not to mention the street cones

Thoughts are white
And the heart's black
Standing there spraying your back
You want this
I don't know why
High school prom always your alibi

Don't let your skin go white

Tangerine
Tangerine

You're never at home
You're at the (tanning) booth all the time
Are you asleep like on your wedding night?
You live in a world
That doesn't seem real
Willy Wonka telling you what to do

If you didn't follow through
He'd turn the rest against you
Oompa Loompas turning their backs
Ready to sue

Don't let your skin go white
It doesn't have to be this way
You could accept yourself
Instead of fulfilling your odd dream
Appearing like a fruit, like a fruit

Tangerine
Tangerine

Don't let your skin go white

Tangerine

Don't let your skin go white

Tangerine
Tangerine
Tangerine
Tangerine

Orange man white again
Orange man white again
No, I'm just kidding

You wanted it more
You needed it less
Spraying yourself from head to toe
It might be an addiction
Or something Freud couldn't explain
He'd say fine
Just give me some cocaine

Don't let your skin go white
It doesn't have to be this way, this way, this way

Tangerine
Tangerine
Tangerine
Tangerine
