Lyrics

(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo)
Flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker here you are
Cata-cata-cata, caterpillar girl
Flowin' and fillin' up my hopeless heart
Oh, never, never go
Oh, I dust my lemon lies
With powder pink and sweet
The day I stop is the day you change
And fly away from me
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo)
You flicker and you're beautiful
You glow inside my head
You hold me hypnotized, I'm mesmerized
Your flames are flames, that kiss me dead
I'll dust my lemon lies
With powder pink and sweet
The day I stop is the day you change
And fly away from me
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo)
Oh, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker here you are
Cata-cata-cata, caterpillar girl
Flowin' and fillin' up my hopeless heart
Oh, never, never go
Oh, I'll dust my lemon lies
With powder pink and sweet
The day I stop is the day you change
Fly away, away from me
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
Cata-cata-cata, caterpillar girl
Cata-cata-cata, caterpillar girl
(Doo-doo-doo, doo)
Cata-cata-cata, caterpillar girl
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
Cata-cata-cata, caterpillar girl
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo)
Cata-cata-cata, cata-cata-cata
Caterpillar girl
