Steve Kilbey - Liquid Lyrics
Liquid, she drank like she was in meLiquid, she's drinking more of everythingShe drained an ocean out of meLeft me washed up in bankruptcyLike a storm far out to sea, she's goneShe ran like water through my handsSilver drops on thirsty landsThen she sank into the sand, she's goneStranded on a saw-toothed reefShe bled my life beyond beliefJust another fluid thief, she's goneSometimes I think of the lives I could have ledBefore the sweet nectar, heat and lust came shimmering out of my headIn a salty cave I perspire pure oblivionA sexual dimension, of black and vermilionShe said I'm drowning, in the voice of an alienThere was no life for meSometimes I plan the revenge I will sustainThe rapture of the deep, rivers and rainWe swam through the channels of an underground cleftI couldn't keep going, I was losing my breathWoozy with fever, catching my deathThere was no cure for meSometimes I remember the blue island skiesWell I was seeing the world through enchanted eyesCoral cut my fingers, my blood tasted goodShe dived in and drank more than she shouldLeft me drifting like driftwoodThere was no hope for meSometimes I hear the birds, the crash of the wavesAcross the black lake where the fisherman slavesElectric eels, in translucent coilsThe lava erupts and the green ocean boilsTaking her bait, burning my oilsThere was no stopping me
