Goddam Spanish Orange

Goddamn Spanish Orange
I knew you way back when
I saw you dead in my dreams
And in the arms of other men
I can't recall your voice
But your scent comes back unbidden
Memories, like Polaroids
Get shuffled, lost or hidden

Vodka can take you anywhere, anywhere but home
Goddamn Spanish Orange, you shouldn't drink alone

I saw you run from the sun
Never seen anything so white
Burning holes in the darkness
You were a pillar of fire by night
The music you were hearing
Was a just siren down the street
You were a blithe spirit
At odds with your own meat

Vodka can take you anywhere, anywhere but home
Goddamn Spanish Orange, you shouldn't drink alone

Goddamn Spanish Orange
You looked smashing in that dress
Sleeping on the sidewalk
You were such a pretty mess
Goddamn Spanish Orange
There's a poem in your death
Maybe someday I'll write it
But you shouldn't hold your breath

Vodka can take you anywhere, anywhere but home
Goddamn Spanish Orange, you shouldn't drink alone
