Gooey Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Alright, come close
Let me show you everything I know
A jungle slang
Spinnin' round my head and I stare
While my naked fool
Fresh out of an icky, gooey womb
A woozy youth
Dopes up on her silky, smooth perfume

[Pre-Chorus]
Right, my little Pooh Bear, wanna take a chance?
Wanna sip the smooth air, kick it in the sand?
I'd say I told you so, but you just gonna cry
You just wanna know those peanut butter vibes

[Chorus]
My, my simple sir, this ain't gonna work
Mind my wicked words and tipsy-topsy slurs
I can't take this place, no, I can't take this place
I just wanna go where I can get some space

[Verse 2]
Truth be told
I've been there, I've done this all before
I take your gloom
I cut it up and puff it into plumes

[Pre-Chorus]
Right, my little Pooh Bear, wanna take a chance?
Wanna sip the smooth air, kick it in the sand?
I'd say I told you so, but you just gonna cry
You just wanna know those peanut butter vibes

[Chorus]
My, my simple sir, this ain't gonna work
Mind my wicked words and tipsy-topsy slurs
I can't take this place, no, I can't take this place
I just wanna go where I can get some space

[Bridge]
Hold my hand and float back to the summer time
Tangled in the willows, now our tongues are tied
How can I believe you? How can I be nice?
Trippin' round the tree stumps in your summer smile

[Pre-Chorus]
Right, my little Pooh Bear, wanna take a chance?
Wanna sip the smooth air, kick it in the sand?
I'd say I told you so, but you just gonna cry
You just wanna know those peanut butter vibes

[Chorus]
My, my simple sir, this ain't gonna work
Mind my wicked words and tipsy-topsy slurs
I can't take this place, no, I can't take this place
I just wanna go where I can get some space

What did Glass Animals say about "Gooey"?

“‘Gooey’ is about youth and naïvety and childishness, and I was trying to sum that up in the lyrics. This particular line is just calling the character in the song “Pooh Bear” as it’s a way to describe that person’s personality in serious depth in just two words. Pooh is quite aloof, succumbs easily...

What are peanut butter vibes?

The band explained the phrase “peanut butter vibes” in an interview:

Similar thing to the Pooh Bear, it reminds me of being a kid, getting it on a spoon and walking around, getting it stuck to the roof of your mouth. It’s also sticky, unhealthy and a bit addictive. So really another simple way of s...
