SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES
"Tenant"

Squatting on doorsteps - following footsteps
Nocturnal habits are surveyed with interest
So we crawl into corners - ignore any callers
And imagine our radiators clang for our neighbours

When we crawl on all fours - upon the cushioned floor
Still they cling to the walls and knock on our doors
And the tendency for tenants is tenacity

The paint is cracked - and the paper peels
The plaster falls and a body reels... softly

Forty watt bulb swing from a light cloud
On lawnmower groan, the carpet has grown
But they have eyes at the keyholes and ears at the walls
And the tendency for tenants is secrecy... ssssssh
