Zoe Ko - Tangerine lyrics

2011 on a subway I was 11 with a weapon
In the pocket of my dress
If someone tried to mess
This birdie would go off
And I’d be calling up the feds

Volume up to kill the time
Gothem city and I had to make it mine
Stepping over cracks, overly outspoken
Never really broken just some
Bottled up emotions

Oh, what do I know
Not too much at all just a little bit

Oh, but man there’s one thing that I do

The universe is mean
Missing screws in a big machine
But, I go go go go go
Til I burn holes in my feet

Cause there’s no taste bad enough
You can’t rinse out with listerine
And I know, know, know, know, know, know
Know it’s all tangerine

If life was a person it’d be 10 ft tall
That’s just me complaining guess
I’ve always been small
Picked up to be thrown around
A hand me down doll
Bet you never seen a Barbie with
Some bruises play ball but

Oh, what do I know
Not too much at all just a little bit

Oh, but let me spill the fucking truth

The universe is mean
Missing screws in a big machine
But, I go go go go go
Til I burn holes in my feet
Cause there’s not a taste bad enough
You can’t rinse out with listerine
And I know, know, know, know, know, know
Know it’s all tangerine

Oh, now I kinda wanna scream it
Oh, where’s goddamn tangerine
I’m so done with smiling through my teeth
So oh where’s my goddamn tangerine
