Breakfast from the coffee I drop my newspaper down

Rub my eyeballs and read about some other town

A blueberry flu and message that breakfast was nice

When you shoot your mouth off it's better to pay the price



She's a tangerine

Made in California

She's a sober lay

Just a little haiku

To say how much I like you

Such a sexy way



Torn paper skin and invisible bleeding heart

Your words on the paper sure gave me a start

Your huckleberry flu and one plus one is two

So if I can't be me, well I might as well be with you



She's a tangerine

Made in California

She's a sober lay

She could claw your eyes out

Baby dry your eyes out

Burn your life away



Addicted to the music, bound to start crack again

Watch an evening news show, L.A. blues again

Your California sunshine sure gives me a sweat

And your tangerine nectar's a taste I won't forget



She's a tangerine

Made in California

She's a sober lay

She could claw your eyes out

Sister dry your eyes out

Burn your life away

Just a little haiku

To say how much I like you

Just a little haiku

To say how much I like you

Just a little haiku
