to me at least this song is possibly about pornography/masturbation. when i tried to analyze the lyrics i first broke down the chorus "ooooh this feeling is wonderful / don't you ever turn it off"
the "feeling" most likely is sexual and at first a vibrator or something came to mind with the "turn it off" line, but since jim james is male after all, it could mean something else, like pornography. the disco-style drum pattern and the dramatic climaxing sound on the chorus also hints at some sort of sexual undertones.
this is further reinforced in the 2nd verse when he says "I can see it, by the way you smile" (possibly referring to the pornographic actress) and "I see myself in you" (whether imagining himself being the male porn star or literally imagining himself "inside of her")
he also says "I am with it / Ooh man I am wired" which could imply the human urge for sex but also "wired" could represent a subtle reference to the internet/technology.
instead of "feeling high on wine" it should be "feelings...why? oh my human needs" which could also imply the protagonist's need for sexual gratification
also before i ever looked up lyrics for this song instead of "ooo my lord" i heard "blew my load, blew my load and i don't even know why"
now don't get me wrong i realize this sounds twisted and perverted but it should not be a surprise to anybody familiarw tih MMJ's earlier material where these sexual/masturbation references tend to pop up from time to time, such as on "It Beats 4 U" and "Into the Woods"
