Текст песни Marionettes - Daphne Guinness

Many marionettes
Dripping from your fingers
Grinning mesmerised
The foolish ones they linger
Dancing to your time
Rattling to your metronome
Painted and gilded
Lame to the bone

All your parlour games
Spellbinding patterns in their brains
Sucking your shoot
Worshipping your photograph
Like a peepshow prostitute
A voyeuristic phonograph

Masked grotesques
Performing pirouettes
Charred wee silhouettes
Ghastly rictus smiles
Sickly in the gaslight
Finally extinguishing
Memories of a past life

You sold your soul
So long ago
Paid in silver
Let the candle glow
And on your own
With your reflection
You spread the cards
But you never find the fool

Spinning your web
Your ectoplasmic ball of lust
Handing around
Your sweetly poisoned candy floss
To the dolls of your desire

Come hither, come higher
Stand closer to my fire

Surrender
Surrender
To the kiss
Of the abyss
