are you still dying darling

Siouxie An Banshees

Are you still dying darling?
Are you still in pain?
Are you still crying
Despite the morphine in your veins?

A fluorescent haze hangs and for a second makes you
Invisible but you try in vain to reach out through
The life-support machine and all the multicoloured
Tubes that pump and drain

Are you still dying darling?
Are you still dying darling?

All this wasting away
All this prolonged misery and
All this stripping away of dignity is
Killing me
That expression on your face
Pleading through your agony

Are you still dying darling?
Are you still sighing
Shall I end it for you?

You'll see
I'll make it easy for you
Just one blink and I'll help you to break through
Where Never Never Land beckons to you
You can dance with Peter Pan
Make rings around the moon

Are you still dying darling?
Are you still dying darling?

No more injections
No more medications
No more complications for you
I'll lessen the load for you
No more no more no more
No more are you still dying darling?
Are you still dying darling?
Are you still dying darling?
Are you still dying darling?
Are you still dying darling?
