Glitter in the Pool


Hot honey sun slow setting
Summer motel pool I'm getting
High downwind of cheap perfume

Ooo, ah

Neon after dark sign flickers
Adult swim in mermaid liquors
Try to recall the old tune

Ooo, ah

The rusty gate swings open
Like a call through endless skies
The masterpiece of Venice Beach
Appears with golden eyes

Barely dressed in his poverty
He wore sweet naivety
The day's white briefs tattered thin

Ooo, ah ah ah

Hot honey sun was my heart
The climax of cupid's art
The way the pool was intimate with him

The neon sheen curves round his form
White as purity itself
The rhinestone peach of Venice Beach
In the pool of the motel

A ray of light in chlorine
Like stars that lose their mooring
And stray from their own story
White clinging to his glory

It's just glitter in the pool

Ooo, ah

Bottle caps and broken glass
Ricocheting light just as
He rose wet and bejeweled

Ooo, ah

The dream it seemed to be concluding
Strangers left now to their brooding
They know in dreams they can be fooled

The rusty gate swings open
In his wake an afterglow
He moved us each in Venice Beach
But his name we'll never know

A ray of light in chlorine
Like stars that lose their mooring
And stray from their own story
White clinging to his glory

It's just glitter in the pool

Ooo

It's just glitter in the pool

Hah!

A ray of light in chlorine
Like stars that lose their mooring
And stray from their own story
White clinging to his glory

It's just glitter in the pool, in the pool

Ooo, ah

Glitter

Glitter

Ooo, ah

Glitter in the pool

Hah, oh
