[Verse 1] The subway doors slide open wide A rush of magic waits inside The stairs are made of candy cane The clouds are pouring lemon rain The station clocks all spin around They never make a ticking sound A paper bird flits past my feet Then vanishes between the seats
[Pre-Chorus] And I keep falling deeper in Past every rule I thought I'd been You take my hand, I laugh out loud We disappear into the crowd
[Chorus] Lemon rain, lemon rain Wash my worries off again Lemon rain, lemon rain Make this broken day pretend Lemon rain, lemon rain Keep me dancing through the train Lemon rain, lemon rain Till I wake and want it again (again)
[Verse 2] A tiger made of velvet smoke Winks once and leaves a sugar joke The mirrors wear a silver grin And show me where the doors begin Your coat's a flag of mint and blue You say, "Stay strange," and I do too We skip the fare, we miss the stop We laugh until the raindrops stop
[Pre-Chorus] And every corner bends for us A little weird, a little much The world turns bright, the world turns kind I leave my ordinary mind
[Chorus] Lemon rain, lemon rain Wash my worries off again Lemon rain, lemon rain Make this broken day pretend Lemon rain, lemon rain Keep me dancing through the train Lemon rain, lemon rain Till I wake and want it again (again)
[Bridge] If morning comes, let it be With candy stairs and a swinging sea If this is only in my head Let it bloom there anyway
[Final Chorus] Lemon rain, lemon rain Wash my worries off again Lemon rain, lemon rain Make this broken day pretend Lemon rain, lemon rain Keep me dancing through the train Lemon rain, lemon rain Till I wake and want it again (again)
Стиль музыки
Pop with whimsical piano bounces, rubbery synth bass, and playful four-on-the-floor kick; verse stays sparse with close-mic lead and toy-like percussion, pre-chorus lifts with stacked oohs and rising filters, chorus opens wide with handclaps, bright harmonies, and a chanty hook. Reversed swells, little glockenspiel runs, and a tape-stop turn before the final chorus; glossy, colorful, and dreamlike.
