Flicka flicka flicka!
Here you are
Cata cata cata!
Caterpillar girl
Flowing in
And filling up my hopeless heart
Oh never never go
Dust my lemon lies
With powder pink and sweet
The day I stop
Is the day you change
And fly away from me
You flicker
And you're beautiful
You glow inside my head
You hold me hypnotized
I'm mesmerized
Your flames
The flames that kiss me dead
Dust my lemon lies
With powder pink and sweet
The day I stop
Is the day you change
And fly away from me
Flicka flicka flicka!
Here you are
Cata cata cata!
Caterpillar girl
Flowing in
And filling up my hopeless heart
Oh never never go
Dust my lemon lies
With powder pink and sweet
The day I stop
Is the day you change
And fly away
Away from me
Cata cata cata!
Caterpillar girl
Cata cata cata!
Caterpillar girl
Cata cata cata!
Caterpillar girl
Cata cata cata!
Caterpillar girl
