Lyrics for The Double Life by Siouxsie And The Banshees:
| | | Artist: | Siouxsie And The Banshees |
| | Album: | The Rapture | | Track: | The Double Life | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 56 | | | | 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 Döppleganger 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 |
