Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song The Double Life , by - Siouxsie And The Banshees. Song from the album The Rapture, in the genre Иностранный рокThe Double Life |
| 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 |
