Lemon Tree Lyrics

There's a preying mantis on my jumper sleeve

He rubs his legs and turns his eyes to me

Whispers in my ear so tenderly

Stay patient down this road you'll see

A place where you'll find serenity

Tell me the secrets of the Lemon Tree

My Eden's full of citrus

Vibrating luminescence

My Eden's full of citrus

My Eden's full of citrus

Vivacious lemon essence

My Eden's full of citrus

And it's sweet on the eyes

But sour on the tongue

I wish that I could hop the fence and see what's inside

It's sweet on the eyes

But sour on the tongue

The Lemon Tree oh it's giving me the zest of life

Sweet on the eyes

But sour on the tongue

Sweet on the eyes

But sour on the tongue

On the tongue

On the tongue

Oh

On the tongue

Oh

On the tongue

Lyres plucking woodwind trill between

Exotic oranges from Seville

Hesperidin bougainvillea

Round and round and round that rind

Bending laws of space and time

One hundred gnarled trunks all entwined

My Eden's full of citrus

Vibrating luminescence

My Eden's full of citrus

My Eden's full of citrus

Vivacious lemon essence

My Eden's full of citrus

And it's sweet on the eyes

But sour on the tongue

I wish that I could hop that fence and see what's inside

Sweet on the eyes

But sour on the tongue

Oh the Lemon Tree yeah it's giving me the zest of life

Sweet on the eyes

But sour on the tongue

Sweet on the eyes

But sour on the tongue

On the tongue

Oh

On the tongue

Ooh

On the tongue

Mmm

On the tongue

Ooh

Because in my dreams

I see a hundred thousand lemon trees

Sitting under canopies

A trillion leaves inside my dreams

The juice of the fruit it's making me

A hundred thousand lemon trees

They're sitting under canopies

A trillion leaves inside my dreams

The juice of the fruit

It's making me

Making me

Making me

Making me

Oh it's making me

YOW

Mmmm baby

I see a hundred thousand lemon trees

Under canopies

I see a trillion leaves inside my dreams

The juice of that fruit it's making me

I see a hundred thousand lemon trees

And it's making me

Making me

Making me

Oh

I see a hundred leaves inside my dreams

Oh

The Lemon Tree
