What you gonna choose the poison or the knife?   Lived with crazy paving all your life   Something in her eyes just tells you no   Hoping conversation starts to flow      Stuck inside a wheel inside a wheel   Wondering everyday is it all for real?   Aching every time a cold wind blows   My love don't fear the mighty rose      (Tangerine, Tangerine)      What you gonna choose the poison or the knife?   Lived with crazy paving all your life   Something in her eyes just tells you no   Hoping conversation starts to flow      Stuck inside a wheel inside a wheel   Wondering everyday is it all for real?   Aching every time a cold wind blows   My love don't fear the mighty rose      (Tangerine, Tangerine)      What you gonna do when the old man bleeds you dry   Step down from the plane and pluck the eye   Slide in deeper, closer to the bone   Don't you just wish your heart was made of stone      Waxing like an old cracked forty-five   Counting out the ways you can stay alive   Placed in body bags and filled with stones   My love won't bleed, her waves are foam         And when you think it's all over   It's not over, it's not over         (Tangerine, Tangerine)      Who killed Tangerine?    Prettiest girl I've ever seen      And when you think it's all over   It's not over, it's not over
