I’m going back to Virginia
If it’s not too late to make my break
Maybe Carolina
Near the company of grace

If I find New Orleans
You know my will just fades
When I see all my people
On the esplanade

If the old town humor
Shines on my estate
Let them peel me like an orange
Taste the sugar of my fate

Going back to beginnings
'Cause I’m on call to tell you all
There’s a paranoid loose
In the urban shopping mall

All the perfect people on Orange Avenue
They’re alright
All the ugly ones who tried to run you through
They’re alright

If you can stand yourself and sleep tonight
Let them peel you like an orange
Taste your shivering insides
