lyrics

The day the singer of the band died
The band did not know what to do
They found themselves a tuba player
And a boy who could play the kazoo

Agreed they would not find another
Until his voice had cleared the room
Right on cue the rolling thunder review
His transmission was coming through

The day the singer of the band died
Everyone came around
All the boys with the long hairdos
All the girls hurried in their night gowns

The guitarist had himself a baby
The drummer made a solemn vow
He’d be playing with that same old bassist
Once a year at the military gala ball

The band did not know what to do
Put out their hands for shakes down the altar pew
The band did not know what to say
But “Oh what a mess you have made!”

But the band did not know where to run
They realized they were the only ones having some fun
The band did not know how to smile
They said “He is Lazarus babe, always been
Rise now in all black style”

The day the singer of the band died
Nobody knew what to say
If you are alone I’ll be the one to take you home
And the clouds they all rolled away

Autoerotic asphyxiation
That was the only known cause
What can I say man he was a lover
But every man has his flaws

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.
