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 y
