Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We float before the sea at dusk
In heavy mist, in glitter dust
I smile before I want to
I smile because you want to
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Put the flowers in your hair
Wrap your tendrils 'round my chest
I smile because I want to
I am your boy
[Chorus]
Shake my little soul for you now, toy
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
[Verse 4]
Down by the shore, a funny foal
Who bit my wings and ate them whole
You left before I come to
You left before I come to
[Verse 5]
We took to hills into the trees
I hit my head and bit the leaves
You left before I come to
You left before I
[Chorus]
Shake my little soul for you now, toy
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
[Bridge]
Shanks of slate fall to the beach
Wrapped in life in ultra greens
Pools team with plenty feet
And worlds of tide anemones
[Bridge]
You left before I got to
You left before I got to
You left before I
You left before I
[Bridge]
Shook the flowers from your hair
Run to me and kiss my hands
I'm dead before I
I'm dead before I
[Chorus]
Shake my little soul for you now, toy
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
[Chorus]
Shake my little soul for you now, toy
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
[Refrain]
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
