Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lemon
See-through in the sunlight
She wore lemon
But never in the daylight
She's gonna make you cry
She's gonna make you whisper and moan
And when you're dry
She draws water from a stone
[Verse 2]
I feel like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slippin' under
And I feel like I'm holding on to nothing
[Verse 3]
She wore lemon
To colour in the cold grey night
She had Heaven
And she held on so tight
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
And I feel like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore
And I feel like I'm swimming out to her
[Chorus]
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
[Verse 6]
Lemon
See-through in the sunlight
[Verse 7]
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 but he always stays behind
She's imagination
[Verse 8]
And these are the days when our work has come asunder
And these are the days when we look for something other
[Chorus]
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
[Chorus]
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
[Verse 9]
A man makes a picture, a moving picture
Through the light projected, he can see himself up close
You gotta 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 to look for her
She's your motivation
[Outro]
Lemon
She is the dreamer, she's imagination
She had Heaven
Through the light projected, he can see himself up close
She wore lemon
