Lemon in My Pocket

[Verse 1] I found a lemon in my pocket From the market on Canal Little bruised yellow rocket Rolling around like a spell I bought it on a dare From a woman with green nails Said, “Keep that thing close It’ll turn your luck around” [Pre-Chorus] So I held it in my palm Like a tiny sun And the whole gray morning Started coming undone [Chorus] Lemon in my pocket Lemon in my pocket Turns the bad day sweet Lemon in my pocket Lemon in my pocket Now the world tastes clean [Verse 2] Cut it with a dull knife At the red diner booth Made a grin in my soda Made a grin in you You laughed through the window With a paper cup crown Said, “If we keep it laughing It won’t ever drown” [Pre-Chorus] So I held it in my palm Like a tiny sun And the whole gray morning Started coming undone [Chorus] Lemon in my pocket Lemon in my pocket Turns the bad day sweet Lemon in my pocket Lemon in my pocket Now the world tastes clean [Bridge] [Half-time] If I drop it, you know I’ll chase it down the street Tie that yellow trouble To the beat of my feet [Final Chorus] Lemon in my pocket Lemon in my pocket Turns the bad day sweet Lemon in my pocket Lemon in my pocket Now the world tastes clean Lemon in my pocket Lemon in my pocket Keep it close to me
