Sorry, Lazarus Songtext
von John Wesley Harding

We opened up a can of worms
By bringing you back
To the wonderful world of germs
Do you think that you can
Fight the firm?
We got legions of lawyers
Who′ll argue every term
And I wish that you were favoured by the odds
But the contract doesn't cover acts of God

And we′re so sorry Lazarus that we rolled away the stone
We couldn't let you be, leave well enough alone
So sorry Lazarus, don't forget to phone
Just connect, call collect, sorry Lazarus


Was it heaven in the night?
Did you take a journey?
Move towards the light?
Or maybe you′re just
Not so bright?
Why can′t you be like the blind man
Loving all the sights!
Please pretend you're pleased to see the wife
We don′t need to threaten you with life

And we're so sorry Lazarus that we rolled away the stone
We couldn′t let you be, leave well enough alone
So sorry Lazarus, don't forget to phone
Just connect, call collect, sorry Lazarus
Just relax, call us back, sorry Lazarus
Take deep breaths

And we′re so sorry Lazarus that we rolled away the stone
We couldn't let you be, leave well enough alone
So sorry Lazarus, don't forget to phone
Just connect, call collect, sorry Lazarus
Just relax, call us back, sorry Lazarus
Here′s a thought, see you in court, sorry Lazarus
