A Figure Walks

A figure walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
Days of booze and roses
Shine on us, free us all
Who is not irascible
He is no genius
A figure walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
The old golden savages
Killed their philosophers
Thought brought the drought about
Something followed me out
Goes out again
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
And if it grabs my coat tail
I will turn and hit it
It may remove the pegs
Keeping my eyes open
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
It′s got eyes of brown, watery
Nails of pointed yellow
Hands of black carpet
It's a quick trip to the ice house
A quick trip to the ice house X 3
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
You X 7
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
You X 3
And tales of terror
Which my father told me
They never scared me
But not only is it the blind
Who cannot see
That figure behind you
Behind you x 2
You x 2
That figure kept on walking
Behind you
There′s a man on my trail X 4
He's also behind you
Behind you X 4
That figure kept on walking X 4
Behind you X3
A figure walks 3
