Lyrics for The Double Life by Siouxie and the Banshees:
| | | Artist: | Siouxie and the Banshees |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Double Life | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 74 | | | | Lyrics: | At the top of the stairs is a locked room
My secret chamber that no outsider views
For entry
is forbidden prohibited
Behind this door is my other self
Not a picture in a frame nor a
fresh disguise
But my other self
Immobile inert and sanguine
My narcissus kisses exhale
crimson breath
And pump ruby to the lip
I stand before myself not Jekyll nor Hyde
Not
sibling nor twin separated at birth
I stand before myself unaccountable
I dreamt that I had
feet of clay
I dreamt I crossed the seven seas
And when I woke not knowing
I knew I led
the double life
All I ever needed is twice removed
I spit my bile in an airless
temper
In this vacuum a vampire reversed
This one who breathes life into me
And even
dull mirrors reflect the tarnished twosome
I stand before myself not another me
Not
Dappleganger nor witless clone
I stand before myself unrepentant
I dreamt of sin and
aftermath
I dreamt of centuries laid bare
And when I woke not knowing
I knew I led the
double life | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
