PHEROMONE

I know, I know, I sound like a newbie (not that there's anything wrong with dat), the words to Pheromone have always bugged me. The very beginning has Prince saying things in the background. It almost sounds like he's mirroring what he's singing....but I don't know. Something about "..vast way that somthing something something-or-other" I know what the lyrics say but they don't always match, i.e. "sex, sex is all I heard" from Let's Go Crazy.

Always thought this was an underrated song - I interpret it as being about voyeurism - Prince watching a couple play out some sex fantasy - here are the lyrics as transcribed by the PLTT - and before you ask a gat is a pistol -

[The PLTT has it from a fairly good source that the backing loop is
"Pheromone make a nigger go crazy, fuckin' around make a nigger wanna die"]

Come
Lie down beneath my shadow
Lie down beneath my shadow with great delight
And your feel will be sweet 2 me
Come

My left hand under your head,
While my right embraces time
Therein, my virgin, love's wine

L is 4 lust
O is 4 obsession
V is 4 the vast way u
Envelop my soul
This is crazy, this is crazy
I could die from the pheromone

I can see the castle
I can see the throne
I can see the beloved and she's not alone
But it's cool like that
Cuz I'll be diggin' her just the same
I can see the curtain wrestled from the wall
I can see her hands tied
I can see it all
He pulls a gat
This is how they play the game
And I'm 'round the back
Cuz curiosity it knows no shame

Pheromone, rush over me like an ocean
Pheromone, controllin' my every motion
Pheromone, I'm helpless as a pet
Pheromone, when your body's wet

I can feel the tension through the crack in the door
He begs 4 love, while she's disgusted more
And I'm on fire, cause I never seen her nude before
I wanna save her (save her)
I want 2 watch (watch)
All my vital signs go up a couple of notches
When he unties her and she runs 2 the open door
He trips and grinds her (grinds her)
Right there all on the floor (on the floor)
She so close I can touch her (touch her)

Pheromone, rush over me like an ocean
Pheromone, controllin' my every motion
Pheromone, I'm helpless as a pet
Pheromone, when your body's wet (body's wet, body's wet, body's wet)

Her eyes are closed but there's no penetration
He just makes her point the pistol 2 his nose
While he masturbates and now I see a tear
Heading down towards her smile
What happens next it all depends upon your style

(Oh, this is crazy baby)

Pheromone, (Pheromone) rush over me like an ocean
Pheromone, (Pheromone) controllin' my every motion
Pheromone, I'm helpless as a pet
Pheromone, (Pheromone) when your body's wet (body's wet)
Pheromone, rush over me like an ocean
Pheromone, controllin' my every motion

I don't really wanna go crazy but I'm helpless as a pet
When I see your naked body's wet (when your body's wet,body's wet)
(Pheromone) When I see your naked body's wet
(Pheromone) When I see your naked body's wet (body's wet, body's wet)
(Pheromone) But I'm helpless as a pet
(Pheromone) When I see your naked
Baby, when your body's wet (body's wet, body's wet)
Pheromone
Pheromone
Pheromone
Pheromone

I've listened to this song dozens of times, and I've never paid attention to the words other than the chorus. It's got such a heavy groove to it that he could be talking about Diane Sawyer and Charlie Gibson, and I'd still dig the shit.

I always thought he sang "and i'm runnin' back, 'cause curiosity it knows no shame".


As in, he is returning to continue watching.

He's saying, beware of dihydrogen monoxide over and over again. Sometimes it's backwards.
