Jumping Off the Sun

This song goes up and down, down and down and up and down again

These notes like colour balls, leaving smoke trails like an aeroplane

Shooting up, falling down like a rocket and then

Jumping off the sun

Jumping off the sun

This song grows bunches of summer flowers of the smell of rain

Dogs barking, smoke rising, cigarettes in bed with you again

These notes make a necklace that sings like the moon

Jumping off the sun

Jumping off the sun

This song is dancing like sunlight on the river Thames at Kew

Times for the sound of it, time to Charing Cross and Waterloo

Well I know that sounds funny, one might as well go

Jumping off the sun

Jumping off the sun

This song goes up and down, down and down and up and down again

Lemonade kisses I string together like a daisy chain

But these words have no meaning unless they are sung

Jumping off the sun

Jumping off the sun
