Red Over White - Siouxsie And The Banshees

the woods and the town

covered in snow

all transformed to a fairytale

like the fresh page of a book opened up ready

waiting

for the story to begin

for you’re all in a scene

objects in black ink

fringed in white

breathing and living

and anticipating

a colour

all transformed to a fairytale

unreal and inviting

inviting you to step in and follow the path neverending

you’re now leaving

imprints

and somehow expecting

expecting someone

maybe the prince in disguise

suffering a snow queen curse

but you’re wrong of course

it’s in reverse

out in the snow

muffled

the last silent night

the last sacrifice

red running over white

red running over white

red

running over white

red

running over white

running red

over white

running red

over white

red over white

red over white

red

over white

(Thorn version adds:)

running red over white

running red over white

all (oh?) red over white

running red

over white

running red

over white

red over white

red over white

all (oh?) red

over white

all (oh?) red

over white
