Siouxie And The Banshees - The Killing Jar Lyrics
Down where this ugly manSeeks his sustenanceDown in the blue, midnight flareA glass hand cuts through the waterScything into his twisted rootsThen from his eyesSpring firefliesBreathing lifeInto a roaring disguiseNeedles and sins, sins and needlesHes gasping for airIn the wishing wellDust to rust, ashes to gashesHand around the killing jarA soft hoodwink of shadowThe size of make-believePunches through his spike of rageA glass hand cuts through the waterSnuffing out the magic furyThen from insideBolt lightning criesSwiftly crushedThe final, muffled sighsNeedles and sins, sins and needlesHes gasping for airIn the wishing wellDust to rust, ashes to gashesHand around the killing jar
