Lazarus Stone

Lazarus stone
Brother, give up and leave me alone
Lazarus stone
You built me a tomb, and I made it my home

Lazarus stone
Took three days of ringing to cut through my sleep
When I picked up the phone
Your voice on the line sounded like heaven to me

Lazarus stone

Somewhere between all that warmth and that cold
Slept on the breast of some prophet of old
Lazarus stone

Lazarus stone
I heard someday the dead will sing praises to you
In an unheavenly drone
The good notes will bend all the bad into tune

Lazarus stone
If I die again and find out it’s all true
I’ll feel I am owed
But I guess there’s no point in trying to reason with you
