Anxious Orange Peel

by ZoeHolden

It's the panic It's the swell and the bump For my part I'm all so sad Because it was going all so well But that's fine, oh well I shouldn't ever expect a difference To get to the fruit A knife always had to cut And that's fine, oh well And at least the innards are sweet If a little tough to chew And that's fine, oh well Because it's all the more fun to go inward When reality doesn't feel like it's real That it's The nail in the foot Seal in the deal Oh the anxious orange peel So go ahead Carve me up to the rind See if I care And if I don't That's fine, oh well 'Cause I feel bigger than life and smaller than fleas Making faces in the mirror She's always so hard to please 'Cause it's the panic The bump and the swell Quick throw it down the wishing well, well It makes me feel like such a shell Tossed in a chopped up body But that's fine, oh well And that's fine, oh well
