peek-a-boo

Singer:siouxsie and the banshees

creeping up the backstairs

slinking into dark stalls

shapeless and slumped in bath chairs

furtive eyes peep out of holes

she has many guises

she'll do what you want her to

playing dead and sweet submission

cracks the whip deadpan on cue

peek-a-boo -- peek-a-boo

peek-a-boo -- peek-a-boo

reeking like a pigsty

peeling back and gagging free

flaccid ego in your hand

chokes on dry tears

can you understand?

she's jeering at the shadows

sneering behind a smile

lunge and thrust to pout and pucker

into the face of the beguiled

peek-a-boo -- peek-a-boo

golly jeepers

where'd you get those peepers?

peepshow

creepshow

where did you get those eyes?

strobe lights pump and flicker

dry lips crack out for more

come bite on this rag doll
