Orange Peeler

There was a night when my view of the whole world changed

With the crack of an eggshell

I lay my head to rest in the hands of a pretty orange peeler, she said

"Baby, don't be so down on yourself

At least not tonight, please

Baby, don't be so down on yourself"

I realized that the moon shines like a pillowcase

And creases like our comforter

You think of me, I'll think of you as a place, as a home

I hold onto your words like candlelight

You hold onto mine like pantomime

A selfless man with a back cut like photographs

Was pulling out my wisdom teeth

He planted them in the backyard and they grew to be tall, strong orange trees

The fruit was rotten but the dirt was expensive

That's all nature meant to me

The fruit was rotten but the dirt was expensive

I hold onto your words like candlelight

You hold onto mine like pantomime

I hold onto your words like candlelight

You hold onto mine like pantomime
