YELLOW JUMPER

She wore a yellow jumper
She was sitting on the stairs
Thunder in her eyes
Lightning in her hair

Who can say what she was doing
Or how I found her there
Sitting on the stairs
Magic in the air

Where will we run to
What will we become
When the day is over
When the night is done

Where will we run to
What will we say
When the end of the day
Just gets in the way

We were so cool cool cool cool cool
All summertime
Yellow for sunshine
Blue for the skyline
Don't be cruel cruel cruel cruel cruel
All the time
You were not easy to find

And words that have no meaning
Will suddenly make sense
Sitting on the stairs
All cool indifference

She says

Do you bring me shelter now
Or do you bring me clouds
'Cause it feels like it's been raining
A thousand days by now

A fury of flowers
A flurry of kisses
Now we know what
Now we know what love is

Wait until your dreams become
Like a lover
In a lover's arms

We're so cool cool cool cool cool
All summertime
Yellow for sunshine
Blue for the skyline

Don't be cruel cruel cruel cruel cruel
All the time
You were not easy to find

She's a solitary soul
She finds comfort in the crowd
Don't you know her by now

She says

So glad that you adore me
But do I get a say
Don't let your foolish dreams
Stand in my way

And I was only thinking
Of this sequence of events
Future past and present
None of it makes sense

So

Looking for some answers
I was staring at a screen
When did I become
The dream of the machine?

Where will we run to?
What will we become?
When the day is over
When the night is done

Please don't let all your dreams become
Like a lover
In another's arms

We're so cool cool cool cool cool
All summertime
Yellow for sunshine
Blue for a lifetime

Cruel cruel cruel cruel cruel
All the time
(All the time)
You were not easy to find

She wore a blue jumper
She was sitting on the stairs
Fire in her eyes
Lightning in the air

Lightning in the air
Lightning in the air
