    Lyrics below:
    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
    Needles and sins, sins and needles
    He's gasping for air
    In the wishing well
    Dust to rust, ashes on gashes
    Hand around the killing jar
    A soft hoodwink of shadows
    The size of make-believe
    Punching 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
    Needles and Sins, Sins and Needles
    He's gasping for air
    In the wishing well
    Dust to rust, ashes on gashes
    Hand around the killing jar
    Hand around the killing jar

    Between these days, I was ripping some cds from my collection to keep them safe. So suddenly, I found "Twice Upon a Time" and this beautiful song.
    I don't know how many times I played in a row... But it brought me a happyness that only Siouxie gives me.
    Thanx for the music Siouxie!

    Strange though it seems to me now, until I saw them printed below I had never bothered to investigate the lyrics to this song. Siouxsie really is an incredibly under-rated lyricist - one of the very best in my opinion. You could easily publish a book of them and they would easily stand up alone from the music. Painted Bird and Carousel are favourites of mine, although a few idiotic lyrics sites still have the latter credited to Ashley Gorley and Bryan Simpson, who I believe are obscure C&W artists who wrote en entirely different song of the same name. Not very Country is it?
    The paintbox tunes and wild balloons
    Their watchful eyes -- you start to swoon
    Oh painted vile in lurid hue
    The snarling horse that waits for you

How annoying is it that most of the lyrics websites credit those to the writers of of some naff old C&W song of the same name?

      It's about the (de)evolution of a man who collects and kills butterflies and knowing it will be children he will kill in time. He puts the butterflies in a killing jar and they suffocate and starve to death - slow and painful. Siouxsie knew what men are capable of and she made her observations in song - Candyman is another like this. Hope this helps.

      Interestingly enough, "Peek-a-Boo" was the first song I heard by them and fell in love, back in 1988. Then one summer in New York, I went to the Village and found one of those underground record stores you couldn't find in South Florida and I started buying the first ones (on cassette!) including, of course, The Scream... loved them all! Then Superstition came out a few years later and I was heartbroken... I HATED it! That one to me was the de-evolution I you are talkign about! However, I had to see them for the first time in Lollapalooza, then they finally did come to Miami! I was in the front row standing on a chair, and I could have sword that Siouxsie gave me a thumbs up when I was mouthing all the words to "Metal Postcard"! The Rapture was, in my opinion, a far superior album, to the awful Superstiion. But Peepshow holds a special place in my heart :-)
