about

Orange began as a purely instrumental piece, hence the name Orange (nothing rhymes with orange). Once the piece was completed, I was told that it would be impossible to set lyrics to it, which created a challenge I could not resist. The results were amazing, completely changing the feel of the song for the better.

lyrics

She sits at her mirror,
a smear of blush on her cheek,
black pencil for her green eyes,
and a hint of chartreuse,

She goes to her closet,
picks out a dress,
a decorative hand bag,
matching low pumps,

She flits through the office,
floats to her desk,
goes to a bar,
orders a beer,

She sits all alone,
sometimes with a friend,
turns away suiters,
with a shake of the head,

It's not about you,
It's not about love,
she's nobody's princess

she dances alone,
right into your life,
she doesn't see you,
she's nobody's wife,
she twirls around,
her hands in the air,
she doesn't need men,
she hasn't a care

It's not about you,
It's not about love,
she's nobody's princess

she drinks to your health,
she laughs in your face,
she won't invite you,
back to her place,
she's living her life,
as full as she can,
why should that,
include a man

It's not about you,
It's not about love,
she's nobody's princess

she goes to the bar,
she buys a round,
she leaves the room,
without a sound,
you'll think about her,
the rest of your life,
she doesn't see you,
she's nobody's wife

It's not about you,
It's not about love,
she's nobody's princess

she goes to the bar,
she buys a round,
she leaves the room,
without a sound,
you'll think about her,
the rest of your life,
she doesn't see you,
she's nobody's wife
