Ray Wylie Hubbard - Lazarus lyrics

So here we are now, guitars and drums
High and lowdown just some Dharma bums
Gate mouth would tell
You rehearsal's overrated
Baptists will tell you it's all predestinated

Between the devil and God
Between the first breath and last
Somewhere under heaven with no future and
A hell of a past we in the mud and scum
Of things, moaning, crying, lying
At least we ain't Lazarus and had
To think twice about dying
At least we ain't Lazarus and had
To think twice about dying

So here we are now, still preceding grace
We ain't easy to look at
And keep a straight face
Inspired by Rimbaud ain't angelic
Influenced by the dead
Just gets you psychedelic

So here we are now kinda like abandoned dogs
Wrapped up in Gunnysacks and
Singing cast iron songs
We're weird old America
We're grinning with sharp teeth
We're beautiful on the surface
And rotten underneath
