lyrics

Lazarus Shuffle

Now Lazarus was a dirty man,
he rose from the grave with mud on his hands, said
Oh my gosh, look at these threads! there's 
holes in my clothes and I got maggots in my head!
But O the lord he did lift me up, and now I drink
from his eternal cup.
Everybody gather round you know my story's strange
but my mind is sound:

"There comes a man, his eyes like ice,
he's got the chrome cold fingers and a grip like a vice.
His breath is pure as the fallen snow
and his thoughts are a temple where the wind never blows-
except when he sees you lying in your sin,
then his beard goes all fury and the wind rushes in."
Everybody gather round...etc...

Now Lazarus he had them all a-clucking
like so many zombie chicken running from the Pluck King.
He screamed "please my children, let's have some pride,
there's no fleeing from the lord when he's the holes where
you hide. And it's a sin, to act like a fool 
in the presence of a man who was almost a ghoul...”
Now everybody, gather round....

"Now the man of Ice, of lice, of lies
he develops a taste for young virgin thighs-
they're better than whales all stuffed with sailors,
better the 17 shuddering saviours!
And O the lord he did strike him dead
with a bolt of righteous heat to the back of his icy head..."
Now everybody gather round you know my story's strange
but my mind is sound.

Left, right, left right left, do the Lazarus shuffle 
dance away from death. (rinse and re-peat)
