Siouxsie and the Banshees
Icon
[Intro]
My eyes went up to Heaven
You didn't say I'd be blind without them
Icons feed the fires
Icons falling from the spires
Thine eyes rain down from Heaven
You always said I'd be blind without them
Icons feed the fires
Icons falling from the spires
Icons feed the fires
Icons falling from the spires
[Verse 1]
Those words hang like vicious spittle
Dribbling from that tongue
Close your eyes to your lies
Force feed more pious meat
Those nebulous codes and disciplines
Stick in that new born throat
Instill a lie, an artificial eye
To view a perfect land
[Chorus]
Icons feed the fires
Icons falling from the spires
Icons feed the fires
Icons falling from the spires
[Verse 2]
Can I stick skewers in my skin
And whirl a dervish spin
Can I set myself on fire
To prove some kind of desire
[Chorus]
Icons feed the fires
Icons falling from the spires
Icons feed the fires
Icons falling from the spires
[Bridge]
The guilt is golden, the guilt is golden
The ageless lies, the shuttered eyes
It's the nightpiece, it's the Icon
[Chorus]
Icons feed the fires
Icons falling from the spires
Icons feed the fires
Icons falling from the spires
[Outro]
The guilt is golden, the guilt is golden
Golden, golden
Golden, golden
Ooh, ooh, ooh
