Dig yourself, Lazarus
2
Dig yourself, Lazarus
3
Dig yourself, Lazarus
4
Dig yourself back in that hole
5
Larry made his nest up in the autumn branches
6
Built from nothing but high hopes and thin air
7
Collected up some baby blasted mothers
8
They took their chances and for a while
9
They lived quite happily up there
10
He came from New York City, man
11
But he couldn't take the pace
12
He thought it was like a dog eat dog world
13
Then he went to San Francisco, spent a year in outer space
14
With a sweet little San Franciscan girl
15
I can hear my mother wailing
16
And a whole lot of scraping of chairs
17
I don't know what it is
18
But there's definitely something going on upstairs
19
Dig yourself, Lazarus
20
Dig yourself, Lazarus
21
Dig yourself, Lazarus
22
Dig yourself back in that hole
23
(I want you to dig, I want you to dig, I want you to dig)
24
Meanwhile Larry made up names for the ladies
25
Like Ms. Boo and Ms. Quick
26
He stockpiled weapons and took pot shots in the air
27
He feasted on their lovely bodies like a lunatic
28
And wrapped himself up in their soft yellow hair
29
I can hear chants and incantations
30
And some guy is mentioning me in his prayers
31
Well, I don't know what it is
32
But there's definitely something going on upstairs
33
Dig yourself, Lazarus
34
Dig yourself, Lazarus
35
Dig yourself, Lazarus
36
Dig yourself back in that hole
37
(I want you to dig, I want you to dig, I want you to dig)
38
Well, New York City, man
39
San Francisco, L.A., I don't know
40
But Larry grew increasing neurotic and obscene
41
I mean, he, he never asked to be raised up from the tomb
42
I mean, no one ever actually asked him to forsake his dreams
43
He ended up like so many of 'em do
44
Back in the streets of New York City
45
In a soup queue, a dope fiend, a slave
46
Then prison, then the mad house
47
Then the grave, oh, poor Larry
48
But what do we really know of the dead
49
And who actually cares?
50
Well, I don't know what it is
51
But there's definitely something going on upstairs
52
Dig yourself, Lazarus
53
Dig yourself, Lazarus
54
Dig yourself, Lazarus
55
Dig yourself back in that hole
56
(I want you to dig)
57
Dig yourself, Lazarus
58
Dig yourself, Lazarus
59
Dig yourself, Lazarus
60
Dig yourself back in that hole
61
(Dig Lazarus, dig)
62
Dig yourself, Lazarus
63
Dig yourself, Lazarus
64
Dig yourself, Lazarus
65
Dig yourself back in that hole
66
(I want you to dig)
67
Dig yourself, Lazarus
68
Dig yourself, Lazarus
69
Dig yourself, Lazarus
70
Dig yourself back in that hole
