Pools (Glass Animals)

We float before the sea at dusk In heavy mist, in glitter dust I smile before I want to I smile because you won't do We sip the wind through lips of lust And out it comes, warm wisps of love I smile because I want to I smile because you want to Put the flowers in your hair Wrap your tendrils round my chest I smile because I want to I am your boy Shake my little soul for you now, darling And I settle up into a world of noise I'm a man of many tricks and tools and joy With a battery of guilt on which to poise Down by the shore, a funny foe Who bit my wings and ate them whole You left before I come to You left before I come to We took to heels into the trees I hit my head and bit the leaves You left before I come to You left before I Shake my little soul for you now, darling And I settle up into a world of noise I'm a man of many tricks and tools and joy With a battery of guilt on which to poise Shanks of slate fall to the beach Wrapped up in life in ultra greens Pools teem with tiny feet In worlds of tired anenomies You left before I got to You left before I got to You left before I got to You left before I Shook the flowers from your hair Run to me and kiss my hand I'm dead before I I'm dead before I Shake my little soul for you then, darling And I settle up into a world of noise I'm a man of many tricks and tools and joy With a battery of guilt on which to poise Shake my little soul for you now, darling And I settle up into a world of noise I'm a man of many tricks and tools and toys With a battery of guilt on which to poise I smile because I want to, I smile because I want to I smile because I want to, I smile because I want to I smile because I want to, I smile because I want to I smile because I want to, I smile because I want to
