Siouxie & The Banshees - Arabian Knights Lyrics

The jewel, the prize
Looking into your eyes
Cool pools drown your mind
What else will you find

I hear a rumour-it was just a rumour
I heard a rumour-what have you done to her

Myriad lights-they said I’d be impressed arabian knights-at your primitive best

A tourist oasis-reflects in seedy sunshades a monstrous oil tanker
It’s wound bleeding in seas

I heard a rumour-what have you done to her I heard a rumour-what have you done to her

Veiled behind screens
Kept as your baby machine
Whilst you conquer more orifices
Of boys, goats and things
Ripped out sheeps eyes-no forks or knives

Myriad lights-they said I’d be impressed arabian knights-at your primitive best
