Ornaments Of Gold - Siouxsie And The Banshees

Silver couches to recline upon

And ornaments of gold

Silver moonbeams dance in fountains

Below shining citadels

Surrounded by silver gates ascending silver stairs

Eureka on angelic prayer wafts in and scents the air

With ornaments of gold

To warm my soul from the growing cold

Ornaments of gold

We can drink from silver vessels

We can feed from silver bowls

Then I’ll give you gilded treasures

Annointed by intoxicating oils

Drenched in riches unimaginable

Your splendour drips with jewels that are so beautiful

And ornaments of gold

Warm my soul from the growing cold

Adorable rewardable you

From head to toe I’d love to cover you

And smother you in ornaments of gold

In honeydew I’d love to cover you

Oh lover do bring

Ornaments of gold

Protect our hearts from this cruel world

Ornaments of gold
