Tangerine Sky 

1. From Tangerine Sky by Kottonmouth Kings
2. The color of the sky when the sun is near the horizon, not specifically sunrise or sunset.

"Say goodbye to a tangerine sky." Enjoy the sun when it's here and be at rest when it's not. "What if you were living yours instead of hatin mine, finding truth and spreading love and searching deep inside." Be yourself, take care of your family, and choose your words carefully. Listen to "Say Goodbye" from Double Dose vol. 2.
