[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I feel like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slippin' under
I feel like I'm holding on to nothing

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus 3]
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

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 3]
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

[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

U2

U2 is an Irish rock band from Dublin, which started in post-punk but soon incorporated elements from various musical genres (funk, electronica, blues). Composed of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr (drums and percussion), the band is noted for a sound built on melodic instrumentals, and lyrics, filled with spiritual imagery, personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. U2 sold more than 150 million records worldwide, and created some of the most lavish, memorable and profitable concert tours in history. Their success also helped the bandmembers advocate for human rights and philanthropic causes.
