LAZARUS

Lyrics for LAZARUS

Get digging Stay down Lazarus No new beginning in the ground Get digging Stay down Lazarus No new beginning in the ground No order A third eye and a fifth corner I must have done sixty laps of the kitchen at the pace of a mourner The perpetual race of no winning We are sinners from the beginning Struggling to pay for graves Own digging Get digging Stay down Lazarus No new beginning in the ground Get digging Stay down Lazarus No new beginning in the ground Stay down Lazarus There's no new beginning Just new posters for old flicks We've seen it all before I've got frowning Old pop navigating the bricks It's an old hole and it's full I've got a chain to pull But no door and the windows are bricks Get digging Stay down Lazarus No new beginning in the ground Get digging Stay down Lazarus No new beginning in the ground It's not a phoenix you saw It was a gull on fire Over morale, over law The bell rings without a crier For the dancers on the killing floor Performing for the lawyer Tons of flesh in his pocket No flames on his docket The gull with wounded view Above the flames thought Fuck it Get digging Stay down Lazarus No new beginning in the ground Get digging Stay down Lazarus No new beginning in the ground It's not a phoenix It's a gull on fire
