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.
