[Repeated Background Refrain]
A moon shaped pool
Dancing clothes won't let me in
And now I know it's never gonna be
Oh, me
A moon shaped pool
Dancing clothes won't let me in
And now I know it's never gonna be
Oh, me
A moon shaped pool
Dancing clothes won't let me in
And now I know it's never gonna be
Oh, me
[Verse 1]

That we all can love, that we all can love, that we all
The sweet-faced ones with nothing left inside
That we all can love, that we all can love, that we all
[Chorus]
But now I see you messing me around
I don't want to know, I don't want to know, I don't want

[Bridge]
Broken hearts make it rain, broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain, broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain, broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain, broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain, broken hearts
Broken hearts make it rain, broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain, broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain, broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain, broken hearts make it rain
[Verse 2]
The pieces of a ragdoll mankind

The pieces of a ragdoll mankind
That we can create, that we can create
[Chorus]
But when I see you messing me around
I don't want to know, I don't want to know, I don't want
When I see you messing me around
I don't want to know, I don't want to know, I don't want to know
Identikit was written by Philip Selway & Ed O’Brien & Colin Greenwood & Jonny Greenwood & Thom Yorke.
Identikit was produced by Radiohead & Nigel Godrich.
“A moon shaped pool
Dancing clothes won’t let me in
And now I know it’s never gonna be oh me”
This was confirmed by Thom Yorke’s twitter account, as well as the lyric notes of the special edition: although not part of the main lyrics, they are obscured in the background.
Thom Yorke: “I have no idea what it means, or what it’s about, or anything like that”
