[David Byrne, St. Vincent - Lazarus lyrics]

Hey, hey Lazarus
Workin' your backbone, swingin' your shovel
Hey, hey Lazarus
Gold in your river, there forever

One of these days I'm gonna
Bring that hammer down (cool water)
I'm workin' hard, but my heart is wearing out
(cool water)

Hey, hey Lazarus
Workin' your backbone, swingin' that axe home
Hey, hey Lazarus
Gold in your river, there forever

The captain's bell
It swings from side to side (cool water)
High on this hill, I'm working all the time
(cool water)
My hammer comes down hard on ev'ryone
(cool water)


I'll bring it down until my work is done
(cool water)

Hey, hey Lazarus
Water won't do, too deep was the stain

Paleolithic hunters sang this song
(cool water) to give them strength to work
The whole day long (cool water)

I am the tramp slumped in your doorway
I didn't come to set you free
One of these days, when all my work is done
(cool water)
I'm gonna rest in the lap of Abraham
(cool water)
You will not see my face come morning
I didn't come to set you free
