Lyrics Siouxsie and the Banshees

Siouxsie and the Banshees

Ice House

The ice house preserves

With incestuous flowers

Their nightly perfume overpowers me

The stamens kiss

Entwined devouring

The heart will melt whilst the ice remains

Erogenous touch-of brother and sister

The ice retains life-no offspring to bear phallic flower etched into my memory

A feline form on a frosted pane

Not ashes to ashes

Not dust to dust

A beckoning bouquet

Of blossoming lust

Oh will you stay-until this moment's complete?

oh let me freeze you-with this fragrance so sweet we shall not slither and wither away

The door will lock shut-when the ice names the day
