[rev. Oct. 30, 2006]

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

Liquid (she drank like she was in me)
Liquid (she's drinking more of everything)

She ran like water through my hands
Silver drops on thirsty lands
Then she sank into the sand, she's gone

Liquid (she drank like she was in me)
Liquid (she's drinking more of everything)

Stranded on a saw-toothed reef
She bled my life beyond belief
Just another fluid thief, she's gone

(Sometime)
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 sexual 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 a channel of an underground cleft
I couldn't keep going, I was losing my breath
Woozy with fever, catching my death
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
