This seductive song is reminiscent of Divine Simulacrum off of Amen and Goodbye. The subject is entranced by a woman who seems to be refusing him, but he can’t get her out of his mind.
[Verse 1]
She's clinophobic, livin' that grow lamp life
The night stays under her spell, she's alright
She's in a movie, Felliniesque and wild
And she got me in a spiral, soul driver with lazurite eyes
She looks at me
[Chorus]
Shrewdly flutterin' in the floodlights
My, oh my, I can't keep my eyes off of her
Shrewdly flutterin' in the floodlights
My, oh my, I can't keep my eyes off of her
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 2]
2 A.M. Acantha, melancholy dancer
Wearin' an armor enhanced by her smirking gousset
Her wrath is a red thread, leadin' up to her bed
Buried waist deep in my head
She looks at me
[Chorus]
Shrewdly flutterin' in the floodlights
My, oh my, I can't keep my eyes off of her
Shrewdly flutterin' in the floodlights
My, oh my, I can't keep my eyes off of her
Shrewdly flutterin' in the floodlights
My, oh my, I can't keep my eyes off of her
Shrewdly flutterin' in the floodlights
My, oh my, I can't keep my eyes off of her
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Shrewdly flutterin' in the floodlights
My, oh my, I can't keep my eyes off of her
Shrewdly flutterin' in the floodlights
My, oh my, I can't keep my eyes off of her
Shrewdly flutterin' in the floodlights
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
My, oh my, I can't keep my eyes off of her
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Shrewdly flutterin' in the floodlights
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
My, oh my, I can't keep my eyes off of her
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
