Faces at a windowFingers clutching at the barsA fly skips from an eyebrow to an elbowAcross a scarAnd stars are laughing As the wind bitesDoesn't leave a markBecause the Tower stands impregnableA beacon in the darkAnd no-one names a crime committedNo-one blames a soulTheir cases heard so long agoForget about payrollAnd faculties are failingBecause they're really rather oldAnd sick. And tired, much too jaded How they weep, cause how they hate itSky dye on her fingersThe air was turning blueAs Captain whispered, 'Blindfold's optionalYou wouldn't like the view!'SongtexteShe shook her head and shouted backI'd like to see this through." Then joined the line of hostagesWas 13th in the queueRusty chains and armored pillows Stuffed with silver pinsCollecting lives like butterfliesKeep them all locked inTattoo with a star, Write a number on the chinIt's not for turning, slowly learning Stomach churns, the fire's burningNo one has the key to the towerAnd if you listen carefullyYou'll hear a baby cry. Torn screaming From her mother's wombThe lady nearly diedBut the torment never stopsIt's written right across the eyesOf George and Jeannie,Charlotte, Renie, Uncle Geoff, Cousin Julie, Audrey, Johnny, Andy,Mandy, Algernon And Barbarella, Shelly, Napoleon.
