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
Game we're playing is life
Love's a two-way dream

Leave me now — return tonight
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
Secret for you to hear

You're 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
