Lyrics
She can see about four satellites every minute of the hour
And find a four leaf clover where you never saw a flower
She's habitually paradoxical, a parallel perpendicular
Barefoot in nightgowns, that's how she dances in the rain
Sundown to sundown, like she was washing 'way her pain
As she is beautiful, she's unpredictable
Damned irresistible, is it plausible to hate her
She is my common sense, revels on decadence
But what's the difference, it's impossible to bait her
She can really be a handful like the brownies that she bakes you
It can be a tad hysterical, but never quite the breakthrough
She's some kind of an epitome, the sea of intranquility
In flimsy nightgowns, barefoot she dances in the rain
Sundown to sundown, like she was washing 'way her pain
As she is beautiful, she's unpredictable
Damned irresistible, is it plausible to hate her
She is my common sense, revels on decadence
But what's the difference, it's an impossible debateTrivia
- The "Sea of Intranquility" is a pun relating to the moon's Sea of Tranquility. The four "satellites" in the first line are likely meant to be natural satellites, i.e. moons. Both the moon and seas (tides are driven by the moon) are heavily symbolically connected to the anima - an archetype (epitome), the idealised (beautiful) feminine image within the male psyche. Archetypes, like all symbolism have no issue with entertaining paradoxes. "It can be a tad hysterical but never quite the breakthrough" seems to describe the stigma toward expressions of mental health that is afforded to those who talk openly about their psyche.
