lyrics

People constantly give me looks, like I’m a character from their books;
Dressed in orange from head to toe, think I’m a hunter but they don’t know;
Life jacket, survival suit, stockpiles of orange fruits;
I’m just taking it day by day, Orange skies don’t you go away;

Orange is the color of survival;
And I’ve been yellow, green, and blue;
Orange is the color of survival;
(I’m praying we can make it through);
But I’ll change my spots to make it through;

With this compulsion, to the point of revulsion, I’m eating oranges by the pound;
Carrots and dried apricots, seem like the best thing of got to turn this whole thing around;

At night I dream I’m out on the sea,
With all this orange surrounding me;
But there’s a tiger in my lifeboat,
And I’m just tryin to stay afloat;
Change my stripes to be more like him, would my outlook still be so grim;
Or Will my plans go up in smoke,
If I start telling him knock knock jokes;

Maybe it’s a figment, to try and change your pigment, or become something that you are not;
But now that I’m in jeopardy, see if this old leopard he,
Possibly can go change his spots;
