Steve Kilbey - Liquid lyrics

Liquid, she drank like she was in me Liquid, she's drinking more of everything She drained an ocean out of me Left me washed up in bankruptcy Like a storm far out to sea, she's gone She ran like water through my hands Silver drops on thirsty lands Then she sank into the sand, she's gone Stranded on a saw-toothed reef She bled my life beyond belief Just another fluid thief, she's gone Sometimes i think of the lives i could have led Before the sweet nectar, heat and lust came shimmering out of my head In a salty cave i perspire pure oblivion A s**ual dimension, of black and vermillion She said i'm drowning, in the voice of an alien There was no life for me Sometimes i plan the revenge i will sustain The rapture of the deep, rivers and rain We swam through the channels of an underground cleft I couldn't keep going, i was losing my breath Woozy with fever, catching my d**h There was no cure for me Sometimes i remember the blue island skies Well i was seeing the world through enchanted eyes Coral cut my fingers, my blood tasted good She dived in and drank more than she should Left me drifting like driftwood There was no hope for me Sometimes i hear the birds, the crash of the waves Across the black lake where the fisherman slaves Electric eels, in translucent coils The lava erupts and the green ocean boils Taking her bait, burning my oils There was no stopping me
