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
[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'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 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
[''sung in Icelandic:'']
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

(edit) I apologize, sort of. I just have never developed an appreciation for Björk. |
| krIvo | Posted: Apr 30, 2011 - 21:13 I like this song. Strong vocal, fabulous accordion at the end. It's really art. And did you seen music video? Very extraordinary clip |

| Art_Carnage (DeepintheheartofTexas) | Posted: Oct 23, 2010 - 18:21 Really nice. Just on listening, I though it was from the "Dancer In The Dark" soundtrack. It has the same feel to it. |

This song & album are really wonderful & different. I say play "Alarm Call", (prolly one of my faves of this cd,) but it has the F-word in it& people were freaking out about that Metric song with a cuss in it, so....lol |

Bless her crazy little heart, but she seems to make music on her own terms. Sometimes that means making an album, I'm thinking of her last two in particular, that is even too wierd for most people to enjoy on any level. Fookin' exactly, man. Exactly. |

| Panama_Floyd (Atlanta, GA) | Posted: Aug 22, 2009 - 16:33 I loved the Sugarcubes, but I've just never really understood Bjork's solo stuff. I'm not gonna give it a bad rating or anything, but I really just don't get it.
