Lazarus Lyrics

Help yourself to the pocket knife

Help yourself to the golden life

Take pity on your religious friends

Take pity on their malevolent bend

I had a good plan

But it crumbled apart

I had it mapped out

In a flash it went dark

I tore down the idols

Couldn't bear to press send

Stuck between shoulders

Scared to watch it all end

Hello hello my confidente

I didn't see you there with Lazarus

What did he want

Not me

They chased me across the border

For irreverent speaking

In tongues far out of hand

Cause you knew me back

when I was a kid

You knew the jokes

and the secrets we hid

Come on creeping out

Like a bug in the dirt

With a billion eyes and six legs

Is that how it works

I've been shoveling shoveling

I broke you back up and down

Steal these emotions

from the buckets uptown

Set up your connection

with the innocence breaker

Stake out a claim

We got acres and acres

Hello hello my confidente

I didn't see you there with Lazarus

What did he want

Not me

They chased me

Across the border

For irreverent speaking

In tongues far out of

Hello hello my confidente

I didn't see you there with Lazarus

What did he want

Not me

They chased me

Across the border

For irreverent speaking

In tongues far out of hand
