The Fall - A Figure Walks lyrics

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 k**ed 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
