The matter at hand
What the song concerns
Crazy Women follows a narrator caught between attraction and uncertainty. Flirtation offers no promise of devotion; praise is mistrusted, jealousy is both discouraged and desired, and every attempt at closeness seems to provoke another retreat. The refrain’s castles in the sky give that unstable romance an address, with the men choosing to live inside it.
Behind the composition
In memory of Scot Gordon
Seraphino’s recording is a tribute to the late Scot Gordon of Hermit Bastard. By bringing Gordon’s song into his own repertoire, he honors the artist through the work itself. The romantic frustration belongs to the song’s narrator, while the reason for this cover is remembrance.
The words, as sung
Lyrics
She bats her eyes at me
She bats her eyes at everybody
She's not in love with me
She's not in love with anyone
Sometimes you love them and its not their way
Sometimes you feel as if you've been betrayed
Show respect and show praise and she says you lie
Don't believe her and stop or she'll say goodbye
Wear nice clothing and express your jealousy
She says its wrong but she loves it secretly
You try to hold her and you let her pull away
If you don't try there will never come a day
She rolls her eyes when you try to hold her hand
It makes you crazy and you think that is her plan
Crazy women building castles in the sky
Crazy men living in them until we die
Crazy women building castles in the sky
Crazy men living in them until we die
Crazy women building castles in the sky
Crazy men living in them until we die
