Bachelorette

by Bjork

Album: Homogenic [#6]

i'm a fountain of blood
in the shape of a girl
you're the bird on the brim
hypnotized by the whirl

drink me - make me feel real
wet your beak in the stream
the game we're playing is life
love is 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

i'm a path of cinders
burning under your feet
you're the one who walks me
i'm your one way street

i'm a whisper in water
a secret for you to hear
you are the one who grows distant
when I beckon you 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

i'm a tree that grows hearts
one for each that you take
you're the intruder's hand
i'm the branch that you break
