the double life - siouxsie and the banshees 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
immoblie 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 seperated 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 in 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
