Lyrics Tom Morello

Tom Morello

Lazarus On Down

I've been tearing

And I've been torn

The temple steps

Are smooth and warm

What Juda's been doing

There ain't no knowing

On the olive vines

Something different is growing

Lazarus on down

Lazarus on down

C'mon, let's push on through

No, let's go around

Lazarus on down

One eyed crow

Tapping on a windowpane

Little boy raised a cup

In cyaphast's name

In the potter's field

Blood beneath the tree

That money's gone son

What's left, you owe me

Lazarus on down

Lazarus on down

C'mon, let's push on through

No, man, let's turn around

Lazarus on down

Sound of thunder

Smell of a burnin' oil

What's that movin' beneath the soil

The street lights out

Dark shape on the ground

Lazarus on down

Lazarus on down

Lazarus on down

Is that hope

In the shepherd's eyes?

Or just another

Little dark surprise?

I'm just like you, dad

Thin and cold

If you didn't know it

Well, now you know
