Lyrics
[Intro]
Alright
Alright
Ah-ah
Alright
Ah-ah-ooh-ooh
Alright
Ah-ah
Alright
Ah-ah-hey-hey
Alright
[Verse 1]
Lemon
See-through in the sunlight
She wore lemon
Never in the daylight
[Verse 2]
She's gonna make you cry
She's gonna make you whisper and moan
And when you're dry
She draws the water from a stone
[Verse 3]
And I feel like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under
And I feel like I'm holding on to nothing
[Verse 4]
She wore lemon
To colour in the cold grey night
She had heaven
And she held on so tight
[Verse 5]
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 6]
And I feel like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore
And I feel like I'm swimming out to her
[Verse 7]
Midnight is where the day begins
[Verse 8]
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 9]
And these are the days when our work has come asunder
And these are the days when we look to each other
[Verse 10]
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
