lyrics

Baby wiill you bring me an orange?
The evil is building up in my head.
You know how I get –– a little bothered, a little upset.
Sure could use some sweetness instead.

It’s starting to feel like just more toil and struggle.
Why don’t you convince me otherwise.
Be a doll and bring me an orange.
One of the seedless kind.

You know how I get
I forget how to have a good time.
Don’t you let me go on
without that sweetness inside.

My heart is heavy .
My liver doesn’t speak to me no more.
My mind is a self torture device.
I try and remember we’re all the same
but some people make themselves so hard to like.
Jesus never had one. No no no.
Neither did his mother. No no no.
I feel bad but that doesn’t mean we have to suffer.
Bring an orange baby; peel it, bring another.

Your hands will do just fine
To peel that orange baby
And get to the sweetness inside.
