Bauhaus - Of Lillies & Remains lyrics

In the marbled reception hall I received a three band gold ring from Mark, a token of esteem Running through ghost closet locker rooms To hide from Peter, who has fallen to the old cold stone floor Wheezing and emitting a seemingly endless flow of ectoplasmic white goo from ears and mouth A wind rushes through the hall Whistles as it breezes through the narrow slits In the green, locked doors I hide in one of these, number thirteen Barely concealed but hopeful Blackout Blackout I will climb this high wall in remembrance of Clancy To regain or re-earn my life As I died just a flicker of an eyelid ago The wall has many holes and many foot pieces to fasten to The wall is dangerous and this is my penance My penance and my task I did it once and they wondered Yet I needed to go once more around Up breathtakingly across rigidly Down easily and foolishly
