LEMON

Lyrics: Bono. Music: U2.

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
But when you're dry
She draws water from a 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 color in the cold gray night
She had heaven
And she held on so tight

A man makes a picture
A moving picture
Through light projected he can see himself up close
A man captures colour
A man likes to stare
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
(You're gonna meet her there)
A man makes a car
(She's your destination)
Builds a road to run them on
(You got to get to her)
A man dreams of leaving
(She's imagination)
But he always stays behind

And these are the days when our work has come assunder
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

A man makes a picture
A moving picture
Through light projected he can see himself up close
(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
(She's imagination)
To look for her
She is the dreamer
She's imagination
Through the light projected
He can see himself up close

VIDEO

Director unknown. Video concept: U2, shot in black-and-white, performs some standard and not-so-standard actions against a white-grid background while small captions describe their activities. Patterned after a very early filmstrip of activities which first showed that a horse gallops with four legs off the ground.
Chris' Rating: ****1/2. It's just so wonderfully weird, and the historical connection is very cool. I laugh out loud every time Bono strikes one of those microphone poses. And hey, it has Macphisto in it, so it's gotta be cool!
