The Double Life - Siouxsie And The Banshees[00:00:00]
At the top of the stairs is a locked room[00:00:32]
My secret chamber that no outsider views[00:00:36]
For entry is forbidden prohibited[00:00:41]
Behind this door is my other self[00:00:47]
Not a picture in a frame nor a fresh disguise[00:00:50]
But my other self[00:00:55]
Immoblie inert and sanguine[00:00:59]
My narcissus kisses exhale crimson breath[00:01:06]
And pump ruby to the lip[00:01:10]
I stand before myself not Jekyll nor Hyde[00:01:13]
Not sibling nor twin seperated at birth[00:01:21]
I stand before myself unaccountable[00:01:26]
I dreamt that I had feet of clay[00:01:36]
I dreamt I crossed the seven seas[00:01:41]
And when I woke not knowing[00:01:47]
I knew I led the double life[00:01:52]
All I ever needed is twice removed[00:01:58]
I spit in my bile in an airless temper[00:02:01]
In this vacuum a vampire reversed[00:02:04]
This one who breathes life into me[00:02:08]
And even dull mirrors reflect the tarnished twosome[00:02:12]
I stand before myself not another me[00:02:16]
Not Dppleganger nor witless clone[00:02:21]
I stand before myself unrepentant[00:02:25]
I dreamt of sin and aftermath[00:02:29]
I dreamt of centuries laid bare[00:02:35]
And when I woke not knowing[00:02:40]
I knew I led the double life[00:02:44]
I dreamt of sin and aftermath[00:03:02]
I dreamt of centuries laid bare[00:03:07]
And when I woke not knowing[00:03:12]
I knew I led the double life[00:03:16]
I ever needed is twice removed[00:03:24]
This one who breathes life into me[00:03:34]
The double life[00:03:50]
