Bachelorette
Björk · Live Box [2003]
In the shape of a girl
You're 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'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
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 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 intruders hand
I'm the branch that you break
Life is a necklace of fears
Your uncried tears on a string
Our love will untie them - come here
Loving me is the easiest thing
