Bachelor(ette)

(album: Boo Hoo - 2002)

You're a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
I'm the bird on the brim
Hypnotized by the whirl
I drink you make you feel real
Wet my beak in your stream
The game we're playing is life
Love's a two way dream

Leave me now return tonight
The tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

You're a path of cinders
Burning under my feet
I'm the one who walks you
You're my one way street

You're a whispering water
A secret for me to hear
I'm the one who grew distant
When you beckoned me near

Leave me now return tonight
The tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

You're a tree that grows hearts
One for each that I take
I'm the ground that you beat on
You're the branch that I break

And life is a necklace of tears
You undo them with your fear
And I am a fountain of fears
You fill me with your tears

Our love
Is a big ball of string
Devil collects it with a grin
Our love
