If I Were You Songtext
von Seeming

If I were you, I′d crawl out from the shelter
And dance a dizzy samba through the ash
If I were you, I'd spin into a smoke ring
′Til each festering bandage is a festival sash

If I were you, I'd script a better future
Recite the words aloud 'til they were true
I′d sing until I′m someone else 'cause Stoic or seducer
Someone else is gonna sing until she′s you

And if I were you, I'd start the transformation
While the bodies of the heavens are aligned
If I were you, then I′d be losing patience
Yes, if I were you, then I will leave myself behind

If I were you, I'd dress myself in silver
I′d find a way to meddle with the odds
And shimmering in spotlights, I would die for
I would kill for the unwavering attention of the gods


Yes, if I were you, I'd start the transformation
While the bodies of the heavens are aligned
If I were you, then I'd be losing patience
Yes, if I were you, then I would leave myself behind
If I were you, then I′d be losing my mind

If I were you, I′d split in two
I'd break on through, I′d make a new design
If I were you, I'd split in two
I′d break on through, I'd wake up feeling fine
If I were you, I′d split in two
I'd break on through, I'd let the shadow shine
If I were you, I′d split in two
I′d break on through, I'd dynamite the mine

If I were you, I′d split in two
I'd break on through, with kisses down your spine
If I were you, I′d split in two
I'd break on through, I′d drink you up like wine
If I were you, I'd split in two
I'd break on through, I′d flash the secret sign
If I were you, I′d split in two
I'd break on through and never re-entwine
