If I Were You

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
