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
