[Verse 1]
I been tearin'
And I've been torn
The temple steps
Are smooth and worn

What Judas been doin'
There ain't no knowin'
On the olive vines
Somethin' different's growin'

[Chorus]
Lazarus on down
Lazarus on down
Let's push on through
Nah, let's go around
Lazarus on down

[Verse 2]
One-eyed crow
Tappin' on the window pane
Little boy raised a cup
In Caiaphas' name

In the Potter's Field
Blood beneath the tree
That money's gone, son
What's left you owe me
[Chorus]
Lazarus on down
Lazarus on down
Let's push on through
Nah, let's turn around
Lazarus on down

[Bridge]
Sound of thunder
Smell of burnin' oil
What's that movin'
Just beneath the soil

Street light's out
Dark shape on the ground
Lazarus on down
Lazarus on down
Lazarus on down

[Verse 3]
Is that hope
In the sheperds' eyes
Or just another (just another)
Little dark surprise

I'm just like you, Dad (just like you, Dad)
Thin and cold
If you didn't know it
Well now you know
