"STAY DOWN, LAZARUS" lyrics

BIG SPECIAL & John Grant Lyrics

"STAY DOWN, 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 in a fifth corner
I must have done 60 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
Born 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 fat on it
I'll pop navigating the pricks
It's an old hall and it's full
It's got a chain to pull
But no door and the windows are bricked

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 moral, over law
The bell rings without a crier
For the dancers on the killing floor
Performing for the liar
Pounds of flesh in his pocket
No flaying's 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
