Lemon, see-through in the sunlight

She wore lemon, never in the daylight

She's gonna make you cry

She's gonna make you whisper and moan

When you're dry she draws water from a stone

I feel like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slippin' under

I feel like I'm holding on to nothing

She wore lemon

To colour in the cold grey night

She had heaven

And she held on so tight

A man makes a picture

A moving picture

Through the light projected

He can see himself up close

A man captures colour

A man likes to stare

He turns his money into light

To look for her

And I feel like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore

And I feel like I'm swimming out to her

Midnight is where the day begins

Midnight is where the day begins

Midnight is where the day begins

Lemon, see-through in the sunlight

A man builds a city

With banks and cathedrals

A man melts the sand

So he can see the world outside

(You're gonna meet her there)

A man makes a car

(She's your destination)

And builds a road to run them on

(You gotta get to her)

A man dreams of leaving

(She's imagination)

But he always stays behind

And these are the days when our work has come asunder

And these are the days when we look for something other

Midnight is where the day begins

Midnight is where the day begins

Midnight is where the day begins

Midnight is where the day begins

Midnight is where the day begins

Midnight is where the day begins

Midnight is where the day begins

Midnight is where the day begins

A man makes a picture

A moving picture

Through the light projected

He can see himself up close

(You gonna meet her there)

A man captures colour

(She's your destination)

A man likes to stare

(There's no sleeping there)

He turns his money into light

(She's imagination)

To look for her

Lemon

She is the dreamer

She's imagination

(She had heaven)

Through the light projected

He can see himself up close

She wore lemon
