Lemon
U2
Zooropa (1993)

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 her water from the stone


And I feel
Like I'm slowly, slowly,
Slowly slipping under
And I feel
Like I'm holding onto 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
A man makes a car
And builds a road to run them on
A man dreams of leaving

You're gonna meet her there
She's your destination
You gotta get to her
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
A man captures colour
A man likes to stare
He turns his money into light
To look for her
She is the dreamer
She's imagination
Through the light projected
He can see himself up close

You're gonna meet her there
She's your destination
There's no sleeping there
She's imagination
Lemon


She had heaven


She wore lemon
