An' my belly is craving, I got shakin' in my head  I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead  If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time  For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine  An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time  When I was a young man I learned not to care  Wild whiskey, confronted I often did swear  My mother and father said whiskey is a curse  But the fate of their baby is many times worse  An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time  You'll forget your woman, you'll forget about man  Try it just once, an' you'll try it again  It's sometimes you wonder and it's sometimes you think  That I'm a-living my life with abandon to drink  An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time  Stay away from the cities, stay away from the towns  Stay away from the men pushin' the codine around  Stay away from the stores where the remedy is found  I will live a few days as a slave to codine  An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time  An' my belly is craving, I've got a shakin' in my head  An' I've started heating whether my body said  Steady yourself with the grains of cocaine  An' you'll end dead or you'll end up insane  An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time  An' my belly is craving, I got shaking in my head  I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead  If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time  For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine  An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time  An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time  Tangerine Eyes  Please darling Tangerine Eyes sing a song for me,  One that I can hear all the day.  Oh and please darling Tangerine Eyes kiss my hand at dawn  By the bright and yellow corn of your hair.  Like a picture of the golden sunset you can make it real,  You know just how I feel all the time.  So please darling Tangerine Eyes whisper to the wind  We'll leave the rain behind and walk away.  We walk along the lonesome shoreline listening to the sea,  Talking to you and me about the sky  And we know even as we walk that way before the dawn  Our footsteps will be gone far away.  The seagulls ride the winds for you, can't you hear them cry,  Can't you hear them sigh out your name?  Oh please darling Tangerine Eyes sing a song for me  One that I can hear  So I feel alright  In the big start studded night of my dreams.
