Song Lyrics

Last rays of sunlight die
Full moon begins to rise
Reflected in your eyes

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]

Flutter and Wow
Flutter and Wow

You make the motor in me
Flutter and Wow
Flutter and how

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

[Chorus]

Flutter and Wow
Flutter and Wow

You make the motor in me
Start up and stop again
When I am spluttering

You make the motor in me
Flutter and wow
Flutter and how
Flutter and wow
Flutter and how

To the bridge

The incident tape across the bed
Threading it from the reel to the head
I'm planting this thought in a magnetic field
And pressing 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
