Just back from his tour of the after world. An exclusive interview with... Lazarus.
lyrics
Lazarus came down
just to meet me
and the two of us sat down for an exclusive:
He said, “I think they liked me better when I was dead”
“They never stop by; they’re just too busy to find a way to make time
But, you should have seen the way those tears rolled down the aisle
And how they wished they had one more hour
My wife said, “Boy, I will miss him…
How I was a mountain of a man with sweat kisses
And how I always understand”
Now I just loaf around on Sundays
I haven’t taken the trash out for days
She says, “at least the life insurance could have paid for the car
That money could have gone far”
I’m sure see liked me better when I was dead
It’s funny I guess, if we were given a second chance
We’d likely blow it I guess, even dealt the same hand
We rarely stick to our plans, though our intentions are best
I could have left on a high,
Now I’m just a player who is well past his prime
Like a joke you have delivered 2 times
I’m sure that it won’t land the last time
I’m sure she liked me better when I was dead.”
