John Cale - If You Were Still Around lyrics

If you were still around

I'd hold you

I'd hold you

I'd shake you by the knees

Blow hard in both ears

If you were still around

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 unto 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

Bend your spine on my knee

Chew the back of your head

Chew the back of your head

'Til you opened your mouth

To this life
