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

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
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
