Bonnie ate a beachball and Thelma went to hell Right there on the operating table for a spell While she was there her husband waved from the fire All of this was told to me on Christmas eve night, yeah Bonnie ate a beachball and things were alright Bonnie ate a beachball and things were alright Years later I’m walking down the street just trying to live in the light Now things have slipped, I’m doing the suicide slide The suicide slide, the suicide slide Bonnie ate a beachball and things were alright Alright, alright, alright Here comes Santa Claus walking down the street throwing pennies over orphanage walls His little babies been there all along While he was there, he danced around the fire And all this was told to me around the funeral pyre Bonnie ate a beachball and things were alright Bonnie ate a beachball and ruined his night Things are not alright Oh things are not alright, no Things couldn't be better, they’re alright Oh things are not alright Bonnie ate a beachball and things were alright Bonnie ate a beachball and ruined his night Bonnie ate a beachball and Thelma went to hell Right there on the operating table for a spell Bonnie ate a beachball and things were alright Bonnie ate a beachball Alright

Hey Big Beluga You and the School Shooter’s got a crush on me And all you inbred punks, from the dormitory bunks Were just avant-garde nazis Hey Freddy Krueger, you know your best manoeuvres been slippin’ into dreams Where the boiler room was your heart Now the bed is red from how much Johnny Depp bleeds Goddamn this big old lunch line Longer than the pipeline. Why’s no one ever sit next to me? Why am I always alone? I guess I’ll sit with the freaks Hey Big Bambino Slam one out the park for someone like me I got nothing to lose I got no tricks up my sleeve Hey Big Beluga Lay your head Upon my Shoulder Hey Big Beluga Why don’t you lay your head Right there upon my strong shoulder, please Hey Small Time Performer In a dark corner of an even darker bar You were playing a mean guitar Nobody told you it would take you far Hey all you people Climb up on your steeple, and promptly sit on it for me I got nothing left to see Zero visibility Hey Big Beluga Lay your head Upon my Shoulder Hey Big Beluga Why don’t you lay your head Right there upon my strong shoulder, please And the last thing that I remember saying Was “get under your desk” my friend, cause Big Beluga started spraying and spraying And the last thing that I said “It won’t be long now, not long before you are dead”

Babe Hill 03:34
I was sitting atop Babe Hill Me and my lover in a drop-top suicide-doors and looks to kill It all adds up oh my lord cause that’s where she fell Right off Babe Hill I lost my lover, but I gained something too I was dancing all out on my own around the perimeter You gave me purpose now I know what I am to do You showed me what it takes to be blue But I love her I can’t help myself it's true Right off Babe Hill I lost my head But I got some too I was dancing all out on my own But I was with you What’s a boy to do? If I could take a chance, I would take it on you If I could dance one romantic dance, it would be with you It’d be under blue moon, up on Babe Hill that’s what we’d do Right off Babe Hill I lost my lover and I fell thereafter I saw a sweeping valley vista and landed upon golden pastures They say that love is a myth best applied outside the classroom And a dream is a good thing to have, yeah I’ve got two Well how about you?

Who Knew? 03:29
What’s left to do when the singing is through? When my name is forgotten and my fingers are rotten No chords left to learn and no clever words And the sky is depleted of clouds and of birds Well I can’t recall the feeling The pain of it all is fleeting Who knew? Who knew? You don’t need a raincoat when you live on a rainbow And you’re living for loving and sweet turtle doving No bridges to burn No seas left to churn And you’ve only got love for all those concerned Well I can’t recall the feeling The pain of it all is receding Who knew? Who knew? There’s nothing to do when the singing is through Who knew? Who knew? Who knew? Who knew?

Mantra 05:54
When I was young I felt like I Was the heir to something good And now I am old, lying naked on the floor How are we still living in the hood? I woke up one morning I was moaning and yawning and yawning And what should I say to myself today Just to make it to the nighttime? When I was gold I felt like I Was less than silver And now I am frankincense, and I am myrrh Laid up in a manger So what’s your mantra? And who’s your papa? And what do you say to yourself Everyday, just to make it to the nighttime? Oh now you say that That’s so funny, I’ve said the same things too Oh now you say that More and more, less and less, I am in love with you Its gets harder and harder each and every day Gonna have to hide the ancient pain away And you’re gonna need a real long talking to If you want a star in my play I woke up in the evening, in the evening Where have I even been? Who’s gonna take you home just like I Just like we’ve been saying? So what’s your mantra? And who’s your papa? And what do you say to yourself Everyday, just to make it to the nighttime? Oh now you say that That’s so funny, I’ve read the same self-help too Oh now you say that More and more, less and less, I am in love with you So what’s your mantra? And who’s your papa? And what do you say to yourself Everyday, just to make it to the nighttime? Oh now you say that That’s so funny, I read it too Oh now you say that More and more So what’s your mantra? And who’s your papa? And what do you say to yourself at the top of every day Just to make it to the nighttime?

about

Po Lazarus Montreal, Québec

Lazarus had to live twice. This was a raw deal. In accordance with the grandiose acts of divine men, we’re now playing for our lives. Devout music boys, just trying to keep things civil while the guitar sweats.
