Lyrics for If You Were Still Around
If you were still around 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 If you were still around I'd tear into your fear Leave it hanging off you In long streamers Shreds of dread 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) 'Til you opened your mouth (chew the back, chew the back) 'Til you opened your mouth (chew the back, chew the back) 'Til you opened your mouth (chew the back, chew the back) (Chew the back, chew the back) To this life
