Go-betweens Orpheus Beach Lyrics

Orpheus Beach Lyrics

I hear you skating on the ice 



And wonder why you left me twice 



The eerie sound of blade on lake 



Cracks my skin and I
fill with ache 



But I don't want this heart 



I don't
need this blood 







I see you running through the grass




A doctors daughter, a sky of glass 



My swollen eye at
sunday school 



No saviour here under God's bright rule 



But I don't want this heart 



I don't need this blood 







Time to be leaving, run from your reach 



Gonna go
dreaming on Orpheus Beach 







I feel you breathing in
my head 



But better there if not in bed 



I wash your
perfume from my clothes 



I don't believe that affection goes 



But I don't want this heart 



I don't need this blood 







Time to be leaving, run from your reach 



Gonna go dreaming on Orpheus Beach
