Obsession

Siouxsie & The Banshees

do you hear this breath it's an obsessive breath

can you feel this beat it's an obsessive heart beat

waiting to be joined with its obsession



i close my eyes but i can't sleep

the thin membrane can't veil

the branded picture of you



the signs and signals show - the traffic lights say go

again you baffle me pretending not to see ...me



i broke into your room - i broke down in my room

touched your belongings there - and left a lock of my hair

another sign for you



you screamed into my face get the hell out of my place

another sign for me? can you forgive me?

for not understanding your ways



you know sometimes you take it all too far

then i remember it's a game between you and me

a divine test for us two



it's all in my imagination

yes they even say that our mission ...is only

my obsession



do you hear this breath it's an oppressive breath

suffocating in the poison of your obsession

can you feel this beat it's a possessive beat

your pulse stops in the claws of your obsession
