lyrics

Whoa-oh, bittersweet feeling,
Whoa-oh, bittersweet feeling.

Wanted to create something permanent,
make something useful, Joe.
I had that feeling.
And the fact is:
what I manufactured
would only be useful to the soul
when you have that permanent feeling.
The permanence of that feeling, though. . .

I was shooting with a camera,
and immediately thought
that the frames between faces
were the only real shots.
I asked you to move, and you said “What?”
I asked you to move, and you said “What? What?”

Oh, it gives a bittersweet feeling
when you’re feeling bittersweet.
Whoa-oh, bittersweet feeling,
Whoa-oh, bittersweet feeling, oh.
Wanted to create something useful,
something permanent in fact.
I had that bittersweet feeling.
That feeling, oh the feeling, but the fact:
is what I manufactured
could only be used
when you have that feeling
and the feeling is abused.

Whoa-oh, bittersweet feeling.
Whoa-oh, bittersweet feeling.
