Orpheus Beach Lyrics - Go-betweens

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
