Letra If You Were Still Around - John Cale

If You Were Still Around

If you were still around\nI’d hold you\nI’d hold you\nI’d shake you by the knees\nBlow hard in both ears\nIf you were still around\nYou could write like a panther\nWhatever got into your veins\nWhat kind of green blood\nSwung you to your doom\nTo your doom\nIf you were still around\nI’d tear unto your fear\nLeave it hanging off you\nIn long streamers\nShreds of dread\nIf you were still around\nI’d turn you facing the wind\nBend your spine on my knee\nChew the back of your head\nChew the back of your head\n'Til you opened your mouth\nTo this life
