Lyrics Flutter And Wow - Elvis Costello, The Imposters

Flutter And Wow

Last rays of sunlight die
Full moon begins to rise
Reflected in your eyes
I can’t believe that this is happening
You make the motor in me
Flutter and wow
The crowd was gathering
The clock struck five, then ten
My happy tears were descending
I can’t believe that this is happening
You make the motor in me
Flutter and wow
The incident tape across the bed
Threading it from the reel to the head
I’m planting this thought in a magnetic field
And pushing the button
And all of a sudden
Erase everything rotten
Fascinated and uptight
Make me shout out loud
Make me cry all day and night
My voice got stuck in my throat
Pulled my hand up into the sleeve of my coat
So you’d never know how it was shaking
I can’t believe that this is happening
You make the motor in me
Flutter and wow
You make the motor in me
Start up and stop again
When I am spluttering
I can’t believe that this is happening
You make the motor in me
Flutter and wow
The incident tape across the bed
Threading it from the reel to the head
I’m planting this thought in a magnetic field
And pushing the button
And all of a sudden
Erase everything rotten
Fascinated and uptight
Make me shout out loud
Make me cry all day and night
