"Lemon Peel" lyrics
Life is like a lemon peel
It wraps around the way you feel
The stingin' part does something to your eyes
The taste is often bittersweet
And it can knock you off your feet
Just when you think that life holds no surprise
All I ever think about is back when you were my lover
And how many times since then you've been wrapped in the flesh of another
Lemon peel
Lemon peel
Standing in the shadow cast
By lemon peel that's holding fast
The shoulders of old Mr. In Between
Life sets you up to knock you down
So you can taste the stony ground
That lies beneath the comfort of your dreams
All I ever think about is back when you were my lover
And how many times since then you've been wrapped in the flesh of another
Lemon peel
Lemon peel
It wraps around the way you feel
The stingin' part does something to your eyes
The taste is often bittersweet
And it can knock you off your feet
Just when you think that life holds no surprise
All I ever think about is back when you were my lover
And how many times since then you've been wrapped in the flesh of another
Lemon peel
Lemon peel
Standing in the shadow cast
By lemon peel that's holding fast
The shoulders of old Mr. In Between
Life sets you up to knock you down
So you can taste the stony ground
That lies beneath the comfort of your dreams
All I ever think about is back when you were my lover
And how many times since then you've been wrapped in the flesh of another
Lemon peel
Lemon peel
