Siouxsie and the Banshees — The Killing Jar

[Verse 1] Down where this ugly man seeks his sustenance Down in the blue, midnight flare A glass hand cuts through the water Scything into his twisted roots Then from his eyes spring fireflies Breathing life into a roaring disguise [Pre-Chorus] Needles and sins, sins and needles He's gasping for air In the wishing well [Chorus] Dust to rust, ashes on gashes Hand around the killing jar Hand around the killing jar [Verse 2] A soft hoodwink of shadows the size of make-believe Punches through his spike of rage A glass hand cuts through the water Snuffing out the magic fury Then from inside bolt lightning cries Swiftly crushed the final, muffled sighs [Pre-Chorus] Oh, needles and sins, sins and needles He's gasping for air In the wishing well [Chorus] Dust to rust, ashes on gashes Hand around the killing jar Hand around the killing jar [Outro] Hand around the killing jar Hand around the killing jar Hand around the killing jar Hand around the killing jar The killing jar
