A Figure Walks lyrics

A figure walks behind youA figure walks behind youA shadow walks behind youA figure walks behind youDays of booze and rosesShine on us, free us allWho is not irascibleHe is no geniusA figure walks behind youA figure walks behind youA shadow walks behind youA figure walks behind youThe old golden savagesKilled their philosophersThought brought the drought aboutSomething followed me outGoes out againA figure walks behind youA shadow walks behind youA figure walks behind youA shadow walks behind youAnd if it grabs my coat tailI will turn and hit itIt may remove the pegsKeeping my eyes openA figure walks behind youA shadow walks behind youA figure walks behind youA shadow walks behind youIt’s got eyes of brown, wateryNails of pointed yellowHands of black carpetIt’s a quick trip to the ice houseA quick trip to the ice house x 3A figure walks behind youA shadow walks behind youA figure walks behind youA shadow walks behind youYou x 7A figure walks behind youA shadow walks behind youA figure walks behind youA shadow walks behind youYou x 3And tales of terrorWhich my father told meThey never scared meBut not only is it the blindWho cannot seeThat figure behind youBehind you x 2You x 2That figure kept on walkingBehind youThere’s a man on my trail x 4He’s also behind youBehind you x 4That figure kept on walking x 4Behind you x3A figure walks 3
