Orange

Lyrics

He met a punk-rock girl at an Agent Orange show in Irvine in 1984 He was miles away from his home in Van Nuys Where he was hungry all the time He was always looking for more They lived together in a duplex near the beach In Costa Mesa where they grilled outside every night Watched a lot of cable TV and had a lot of sex Under a Ronald Reagan night light They moved to a house in Mission Viejo When their identical twins were two She had her tattoos removed He got a job in middle management So he could tell someone what to do It all looks good when the sun is in your eyes Looks like orange is turning blue It all looks good on paper until it catches on fire Seems like orange is turning blue Yes, it's true He had that same lame job for 15 years Managing a Safeway His wife told him she was sleeping with a woman That she met at the PTA, right? She told him she was leaving him in the middle of a party On their twins' birthday She said she was leaving him because they had grown apart And they had both changed so much in so many different ways Yeah, but really tough The truth was that she left him because She would forget what he looked like every day It all looks good when the sun is in your eyes Yeah, it looks like orange is turning blue, it's true It all looks good on paper till it catches on fire Seems like orange is turning blue You better believe it's true He started hanging out with a younger man named Jaden That he knows from the store He says it isn't sexual, they talk about football and politics And how much better things were before Now they sit in his car for hours after work in the parking lot They wear their hair in the same way And Jaden turned him on to that alternative rock I think it's safe to say people are starting to talk It all looks good when the sun is in your eyes Looks like orange is turning blue It all looks good on paper until it catches on fire Seems like orange is turning blue Nothing ever does what it's supposed to do, anymore I think orange is turning blue Oh, if I believed in hell, I would say that it's freezing over Nothing makes sense when no one remembers the rules (Orange is turning blue) Orange is turning blue (Orange is turning blue) Orange is turning blue (Orange is turning blue) Orange is turning blue (Orange is turning blue) Orange is turning blue
