Pointing Bone - Siouxsie and the Banshees

Stereo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib4wVTyjAY8&fmt=18
Lyrics
From the fury pit, a reek of misery
Like a trumpet groan, tornado moan
The splendor splits like a golden skin
He and the wizards cry like humming birds
In treasure glows, your weeping wings
And a slaughter grins, on a pleasure spike

When held on high by the riverside
Like a torn-throat child
In a jackals hide
Cool water dies, vile diamond eyes

Silent in flamingo ease
Distant in troubled trance
Within a whirlpool, we're breaking our backs
The tears of the moon
The sweat of the sun
Sacrificial hearts for a pointing bone
With a Gorgon's head and a cloak of skulls
They're kindling fires in open wounds
Pointing bone

In a jaguar skin, blood matted mane
Beacons blaze toward a waning moon
When held on high by the riverside
Like a torn-throat child
In a jackals hide
Cool water dies, vile diamond eyes

The tears of the moon
The sweat of the sun
Sacrificial hearts for a pointing bone

This is the awesome sneak peek I got from Hyaena and I found it here in YouTube, had no idea that the album was just as great and to this day one of my favorite Siouxsie's albums. This song just rocks, no other way to put it!

To candyfingers- this song is a detailed description of a tribal shaman's curse. "Pointing The Bone" refers to an Australian Aboriginal spell for cursing people
