Lyrics:

Furious with modern digital devices
She spins a lens and clicks when it’s dialed in
And due to her resistance she won’t know just what she shot
Until her darkroom closet in her studio apartment

But if there’s some strange blur in the focal point, she says

I don’t even mind
I don’t even mind
In this type of light you need to realize
There’s no stopping her
She’s gonna fight to keep her shutter wide
F-Stop one point five

She’ll let me paint her portrait if I let her take mine
Better two than none collected criminals

And if there’s some procedure I am overlooking

I don’t even mind
I don’t even mind
In this type of light you need to realize
There’s no stopping her
She’s gonna fight to keep her shutter wide
F-Stop one point five

So if there’s some strange blur in the aperture

I don’t even mind
She says all the time it’s suicide
You’ve gotta fight to keep your shutter wide
F-Stop one point five
