Lemon Man - The debut single of Iranian electronic artist "Sydney Magpie" - Released April 10, 2020

Beyond the yellow lemon tree,
Across the purple skies, 
There lives a lonely little lemon man,
With tiny lemon arms and legs.

A sour little thing to behold,
He never does what he is told,
He loves his lemon lozenges,
Takes them wherever he may go,

Oh oh, Lemon man,
Lemon man don’t go...

Knock knock, nobody opens the door...
Knock knock, nobody opens the door...
All dead as dust, no walls, 
no curtains, no pillows...
Nobody opened up,
Nobody opens up…

He used to be so popular
Among his other citric friends,
He always wore the nicest shoes,
A charming winter coat and cuff links,

Never goes to dates on time,
His lace is never properly tied,
Trips onto the floor headfirst,
Produces juices when he cries,
A river of lemonade...

Don’t blame me, 
I’m just following,
I’m following,
I’m following the way you lead...
Nobody opened the door...

Don’t remind me of the past,
I’m swallowing,
I’m swallowing the pain...
I cracked my head open,
All the way…

Don’t blame me, 
I’m just following,
I’m following,
I’m following the way you lead...
Nobody opened the door...

Don’t remind me of my past,
I’m swallowing,
I’m swallowing the pain...
I crack my head open,
And what do I see?

Jesus dust, and lemon zest.
Separated from the rest,

Jesus dies, and lemons last.
Fingers pressed on frosted glass.
