Siouxsie and the Banshees
Placebo Effect
You dip your hands into my flesh
And say you won't reveal a scar
I must have faith in this procedure
It's a miracle, it's a wonder
A thousand hidden needles in a thousand covered nerves
Stick pins in my receptacles, look to your Voodoo doll
Your mojo
Staying alive at five
For you to cure my ailments
Another soul is saved
With your bogus medications
Which colour shall we have today?
"Depends on how I feel" you say
Consult your research on the media
See, blue will calm my hysteria
Staying alive at five
For you to cure my ailments
Another soul is saved
With your bogus medications
Staying alive at five
With your empty containers
Another corpse, ornaments, your waiting room
A placebo effect reversed
A placebo effect
A placebo effect
Will you ever, ever regret
The placebo effect
Can you ever, ever forget
The placebo effect
Ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
