The Walkabouts "Lazarus Heart"

I keep crashin'
into parked cars
waitin' for a horse
and its blue rider
followed you that night
you tasted lucky
we staggered blessed
your scars they matched my dress

never mind
the happy ending
Maybeline eyes
and trampolines

old tattoos
burned in their parlors
Christmas lights and mangers
spook you cold

Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart

we forget,
we risk,
we're tired,
we're true
veils and whispers
rivers of ether

cigarettes and perfume
...a single gunshot
to the foot
we staggered blessed
your scars they matched my dress

Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart

ready to drift
flat out forget
pull up and quit
look past the shit
we go nowhere
..we just get smaller in the distance

said you wanna' see
what I look like inside
drew a hangman on a napkin
and you started laughin'
don't take prophets to see
this world will need
it's sorry chances

Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart, Lazarus Heart
