Lemon Tree

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
