If You Were Still Around (Choir reprise) Songtext
von John Cale

Uh
Uh
Uh
Uh

If you were still around (uh)
I′d hold you
I'd hold you
I′d shake you by the knees
Blow harder in both ears
If you were still around (uh)

If you were still around
I'd tear into your fear
Leave it hanging off you
In long streamers
Shreds of dread (uh uh uh)


You could write like a panther
Whatever got into your veins
What kind of green blood
Swung you to your doom
To your doom

If you were still around
I'd tear into your fear
Leave it hanging off you
In long streamers
Shreds of dread

If you were still around
I′d turn you facing the wind (facing the wind)
Bend your spine on my knee
Chew the back of your head (chew the back, chew the back)
Chew the back of your head (chew the back, chew the back)
Chew the back of your head (chew the back, chew the back)

Till you opened your mouth (chew the back, chew the back)
Till you opened your mouth (chew the back, chew the back)
Till you opened your mouth (chew the back, chew the back)
(Chew the back, chew the back)
To this life
