lyrics

We climb the spiral staircase
And we turn the screw
No dangerous side-effects
There is no danger involved
A smile would be a small victory
And we turn the screw
I could be a master of torture
If I knew what was going on
“What is going on here?”
And we turn the screw
A shaft of light on your hair
Pours down the well, the deep dark well
Your face has gone white, your hair has turned grey
Your face is spinning away
A turn of the screw
You’re burning, my angel
And the ash is blowing in my face
Stinging my eyes
Stinging my eyes
And we turn the screw

And we turn the screw
