lyrics

Oh oh, Mr. Tangerine,
Have you seen the news or read the reviews?
It's all quite frightening.

And whilst I'm sure that this will all blow over
Before we all get hurt.
I know that things won't get much better
'Til they get worse.

Think I'll stick around,
It's not like I was going anywhere.

Oh oh, Mr. Tangerine,
I think I'm getting the hang of living out my days in
Quarantine.

Haven't been outside for like a week,
At least the air inside is clean,
But even so, it's not the easiest to breathe.

Think I'll stick around,
It's not like I was going anywhere.

So maybe this isn't the year that you'd had in mind,
But we'll do the world the world of good if we just stay inside.
It's only four more weeks of this, and I promise you we'll be fine.
I'll see you on the other side, I'll see you on the other side.

Oh oh, Mr. Tangerine,
I haven't seen the postman for quite some time.
I really wonder how he's been.

I try to talk to my friends online,
But the wireless cuts out all the time.
And that's okay with me, cause I don't have that much to say, anyway.

Think I'll stick around,
It's not like I was going anywhere.

So maybe this isn't the year that you'd had in mind,
But we'll do the world the world of good if we just stay inside.
It's just three more weeks of this, and I promise you we'll be fine.
I'll see you on the other side, I'll see you on the other side.

Oh believe me, I
Know no one wants to die,
But this is no way to live.

'Cause no disease
It's worse than what's on TV.
Oh, something's got to give.

Maybe this isn't the year that you'd had in mind,
But we'll do the world the world of good if we just stay inside.
It's still two more weeks of this, oh my God I just want to die.
I'll see you on the other side, I'll see you on the other side.
