lyrics

All the things that i do for you
have all started to feel like backyard voodoo
collection of items related to you
sticking needles in dolls,
rolling logs,
and drinking morning dew

All the boys in the bar
Have all done the same, you'll never believe what i saw
i saw them pouring through your trash
even the ashes of your poor grandpa
and i saw evil on the face and it was in the shape of a scar

Chicken bones are strewn
From the ceiling of your room
and brickdust is guarding the cupboard where you keep your broom
it must have been an occasion
you even wore your oxblood shoes
and i heard the legend,
about how you dyed em yourself, or didn't you?

No cause for alarm
crocodile skull in your yard,
enough to make one pause
i will do anything you say, ill be your slave
ill even be your Santa Claus
i will behave,
as long as you give me back my baseball cards

Then everything around the town got dark
and all the dogs everywhere started to bark
and that old negro woman started to yell
I know she put me under that voodoo spell

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.
