Show Pony - Glass Animals

Show pony, make it burn

Smile as the knife is turned

Show pony making a return

I guess he's right that you--

I'll begin at the beginning, you met in New York City

He was sitting like a prince on the stairs of his old building

When he kissed you, you were finished, two months in a minute

Married at a desk in a sundress with a witness

Had a honeymoon in Texas, went to Little Venice

Told him with your eyes, now you’re crying in the clinic

And we pile into the Plymouth, haircuts in the kitchen

He always fell asleep just before the movie finished

But you don’t, baby, you’re alone

Echoes in your head, pressed into the floor

Two-dimensional

When’s it gonna end? Maybe when you’re dead?

Maybe you’re a fool, but he loved you

And he loved you in a t-shirt, mmm

All the memories inside your curves

Now you’re coming back to show us that girl

So roll those credits, 'cause the sequel’s gonna hurt, mmm

Show pony, make it burn

Smile as the knife is turned

Show pony making a return

As we make our way through the universe

Show pony making it burn

That's how revenge is served

Make it so cold that it hurts

I guess he's right that you live and learn

It's how the story goes, ramen on your own

Waiting by the phone, lipstick on the coat

Waiting by the door, you live in his clothes

You would make a joke that you had none of your own

All that shit I learned from you

Kindness spilt like milk and juice

So blindsided by the truth

In some way I was sure you knew

But you don’t, baby, you’re alone

Echoes in your head, pressed into the floor

Two-dimensional

When’s it gonna end? Maybe when you’re dead?

Maybe you’re a fool, but he loved you

And he loved you in a t-shirt, mmm

All the memories inside your curves

Now you’re coming back to show us that girl

So roll those credits, 'cause the sequel’s gonna hurt, mmm

Show pony, make it burn

Smile as the knife is turned

Show pony making a return

As we make our way through the universe

All those nights he left you and me

There was nothing left of you, but he squeezed

All those times he did what he pleased

Boy, those scars must really run deep

And all that hurt comes out in one scream

And it pierced him like the paper receipt

That you got that time you went for food

That first night that he saw you

Show pony, make it burn

Smile as the knife is turned

Show pony making a return

As we make our way through the universe

Show pony making it burn

That's how revenge is served

Make it so cold that it hurts

I guess he's right that you live and learn
