the double life - siouxsie & the banshees lyrics

Loading...

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 doppelganger 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

- siouxsie the banshees lyrics
