He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Black as a beacon
In a river of shimmering fog
Yes she was
If you were heat-seeking
She was hard to ignore
Yes she was
And she snapped
Wing mirrors off of Cadillacs
The particularly pretty ones
And that
Meant she never had to strain her back
When she was putting her lippy on
Well, time tastes bland
When she's not around
And you'd sit and you'd sink and approach the brink
Before she showed you how to shake love's steady hand
That knows
And she snapped
Wing mirrors off of Cadillacs
The particularly pretty ones
And that
Meant she never had to strain her back
When she was putting her lippy on
Shake love's steady hand
Shake love's steady
She floats like a niccy rush but she stings like a B-flat
The Blond-o-Sonic Shimmer Trap
And she snapped
Wing mirrors off of Cadillacs
The particularly pretty ones
And that
Meant she never had to strain her back
When she was putting her lippy on
In a river of shimmering fog
Yes she was
If you were heat-seeking
She was hard to ignore
Yes she was
And she snapped
Wing mirrors off of Cadillacs
The particularly pretty ones
And that
Meant she never had to strain her back
When she was putting her lippy on
Well, time tastes bland
When she's not around
And you'd sit and you'd sink and approach the brink
Before she showed you how to shake love's steady hand
That knows
And she snapped
Wing mirrors off of Cadillacs
The particularly pretty ones
And that
Meant she never had to strain her back
When she was putting her lippy on
Shake love's steady hand
Shake love's steady
She floats like a niccy rush but she stings like a B-flat
The Blond-o-Sonic Shimmer Trap
And she snapped
Wing mirrors off of Cadillacs
The particularly pretty ones
And that
Meant she never had to strain her back
When she was putting her lippy on

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I'm beginning to REALLY dislike this song even though I haven't a clue what it means. It just can't be good. Nope. It can't.
