Lirama

refrain:
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

refrain

The old golden savages
Killed their philosophers
Thought brought the drought about
Something followed me out
Goes out again

refrain2:
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

refrain2

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 (3x)

refrain2
You (7x)

refrain2

You (3x)

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 (2x)
You (2x)

That figure kept on walking
Behind you

There's a man on my trail (4x)
He's also behind you
Behind you (4x)

That figure kept on walking (4x)
Behind you (3x)

A figure walks (3x)
