Flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker
Here you are
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata
Caterpillar girl
Flowing in and filling 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
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
I'll dust my lemon lies
With powder, pink and sweet
The day I stop's the day you change
And fly away from me
Oh, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker
Here you are
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata
Caterpillar girl
Flowing in and filling up my hopeless heart
Oh, never, never go
Oh, I'll dust my lemon lies
With powder, pink and sweet
The day I stop's the day you change
And fly away, away from me
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata, caterpillar girl
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata, caterpillar girl
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata, caterpillar girl
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata, caterpillar girl
Here you are
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata
Caterpillar girl
Flowing in and filling 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
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
I'll dust my lemon lies
With powder, pink and sweet
The day I stop's the day you change
And fly away from me
Oh, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker
Here you are
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata
Caterpillar girl
Flowing in and filling up my hopeless heart
Oh, never, never go
Oh, I'll dust my lemon lies
With powder, pink and sweet
The day I stop's the day you change
And fly away, away from me
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata, caterpillar girl
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata, caterpillar girl
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata, caterpillar girl
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata, caterpillar girl

I really enjoyed hearing this for the first time. I'd just been listening to my high-rotation copy of The Smiths debut album and then this on top was like a sweet topping. The lyrics are so much about a relationship, yet abstract and other worldly. They were a respite from Morrissey's quite literal fare
For this reason alone The Cure and The Smiths will always remain intricately linked for me
