Lyrics Voltaire – Bachelor(ette)
Text:
You’re a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
I’m the bird on the brim
Hypnotized by the whirl
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
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
