Lyrics
swallowing diamonds
a cutting throat
your teeth when you grin
reflecting beams on tombstones
a jamboree of surprises
playing russian roulette
or the lucky clip
a clenched fist to your heart
coal dust on your lungs

a silver tongue for the chosen one
heavy magnum in your side or a bloody thorn

skating bullets on angel dust
in a dead sea of fluid mercury
baby piano cries
under your heavy index and thumb
pull some strings -- let them sing

the stars that shine and the stars that shrink
in the face of stagnation the water runs
before your eyes
dazzle
it's a glittering prize

"Dazzle" is a song written and recorded by English rock band Siouxsie & the Banshees. It was co-produced with Mike Hedges and was released as the third single from the band's sixth studio album Hyæna.

The song begins with a gradual fade-in of an orchestral strings section and progresses to a drum-driven, majestic anthem. The lyrics ("...swallowing diamonds / a cutting throat) came after watching the final scene of Marathon Man where Laurence Olivier puts diamonds in his mouth.

"Dazzle" climbed to number thirty-three on the UK singles chart and was Siouxsie & the Banshees' eleventh top-forty UK hit.

Likewise! It's really bugging me now. I dunno, it's probably an amalgamation of a few things I guess.

It's a great track for sure, I've not heard it before until today. I really will have to get digging through more of her stuff. She certainly has a lot of character!
