The hemlock laced nightshade paste I dined on now I've shined on
The fishhook mouth dragged ripping off down south but things weren't always so right on
Lazarus slept in the pages of past ages
No one comes back from the dead
But if he did he would have said:
Hold me in the morning
Rock me in the powerlines
Blast me in the furnaces
Blind me with your neon signs
The angry mad gods lobbed rocks down on top of my bad tomb
The hot hands of my soft watch spun and stopped on a dime and grinned and said: "soon."
Circled and cornered the angles got shorter
Till the path was a straight line direct to the moon
And I cried as I tried to crawl back to the womb:
Hold me in my mourning
Rock me in the powerlines
Blast me in the furnaces
Nurse me on your cyanide
Wash me in the water
Bear me on your shoulders
Take me to the harbor
Watch the tankers dancing there
Cleanse me on your freeway
Rising through the poison air
Baptise me in uranium
Take me there
The cigarette smoke choked and ropes of dope broke and rock and rolled me
Jesus saved and the butchers flayed and the boss payed slave wages but no one told me
But Lazarus opened his eyes sees the old rusty chain shiny and bright
Speaks into the light and cried.
Hold me in my mourning
Rock me in the powerlines
Blast me in the furnaces
Nurse me on your cyanide
Wash me in the water
Bear me on your shoulders
Take me to the harbor
Watch the tankers dancing there
Cleanse me on your freeway
Rising through the poison air
Baptise me in uranium
Take me there
