<< Me and Lazarus (live) - Iron & Wine >>
Me and Lazarus, we shovel all the ashes outBlack bare linens blowing 'roundBack and forth and up and downGuess I had nowhere else to go
Me and Lazarus kept bailing out that riverboat*Floating by the Choir RoseBobbing in the ebb and flowGuess I had nowhere else to go*
He's an emancipated punk and he can danceBut he's got a hole in the pocket of his pantsMust be a symptom of outstanding circumstances
Me and Lazarus, we flitter with a baby spoonWe were flowing through the roomWaterlogged and way too soonGuess I had nowhere else to go
Me and Lazarus, we pick up papa's white boy bluesHandmade towels and Sunday shoesNever made the local newsGuess I had nowhere else to go
And I'm a liberated loser that can roamBut where my pocket was I'm peeking through a holeA couple second chances surely would console me
<< A compilation of 5 live Iron & Wine songs >>Start it out at 7:10ish for Big Burned Hand.
When the arrogant goddess of love came to steal my shoes
She had a white-hot pistol and a home-made heart tattoo
Singing one's to give
And one's to take away
But neither of them will keep you off your knees
The children bowed and bolted off the stage
While the lion and the lamb kept fighting for the shade tree
When the winsome God of war came to set me free
He had a couple of cold bottles full of gasoline
Singing all I love is all that I allow
You blew me a kiss of a big burned hand
I nearly choked with smoke and fell down
While the lion and the lamb kept shooting at a tin can
When the gun-shy goddess of love came back to patch things up
She had a purple heart and mother's milk in a plastic cup
Singing one will lay you gently in the grave
And one's the flag you fold before you go
When the curtain rose the crowd was blown away
While the lion and the lamb kept fucking in the back road
