“Flutter Girl” was an outtake from Superunknown, the 1994 Soundgarden album. The title was created by Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament as part of a joke tracklist for the character Poncier’s demo tape in the 1992 Cameron Crowe film “Singles”.
During the making of the film, Ament produced a list of song...
[Verse 1]
I'm drinking dust with eyes of rust
Tonight my tears might stain your wings
So flutter home because you're better off alone than with me
[Verse 2]
So hide your face and tie your lace
And butterflies across your cheek
Forget how soon you become a fool for words when I speak
[Chorus]
Flutter girl
You don't want to know what I live
You don't want to take what I give
Because I give nothing for free
You don't want to know what I live
You don't want to take what I give
Because I give nothing for free
[Verse 3]
My hands are rough, my fingers cold
And your heart's so young and so naive
To ever feel for a moment that I might dare to believe
[Chorus]
Flutter girl
You don't want to know what I live
You don't want to take what I give
Because I give nothing for free
You don't want to know what I live
You don't want to take what I give
Because I give nothing for free
[Bridge]
I'll tear your wings
As I melt in your smile
As I run all your colors away
[Chorus]
Flutter girl
You don't want to know what I live
You don't want to take what I give
Because I give nothing for free
You don't want to know what I live
You don't want to take what I give
Because I give nothing for free
[Outro]
