This sun goes up and down, down and down and up and down again These notes like color balls leaving smoke trails like an aeroplane Shooting up, falling down like a rocket and then Jumping off the sun Jumping off the sun This song goes bunches of summer flowers of the smell of rain Dogs barking smoke rising, cigarettes in bed with you again These notes make a necklace that sings like the moon Jumping off the sun Jumping off the sun This song is dancing like sunlight on the river Thames at Kew Times for the sound of it, time to Charing Cross and Waterloo Well I know that sounds funny one might as well go Jumping off the sun Jumping off the sun This sun goes up and down, down and down and up and down again Lemonade kisses I string together like a daisy chain But these words have no meaning unless they are sung Jumping off the sun Jumping off the sun
