Elfred Tseng - Lazaretto lyrics

My veins are blue and connected And every single bone in my brain is electric But I dig ditches like the best of 'em Yo trabajo duro Como en madera y yeso Como en madera y yeso And even God herself has fewer plans than me But she never helps me out with my scams for free, though She grabs a stick and then she pokes it at me When I say nothin', I say everything Yeah when I say nothin', I say everything They threw me down in a lazaretto Born rotten, bored rotten Makin' models of people I used to know Out of coffee and cotton And all my illegitimate kids have begotten Thrown down to the wolves, made feral for nuttin' Quarantined on the Isle Of Man And I'm tryin' to escape any way that I can, oh Any way that I can, oh I have no time left Time is lost No time at all, throw it in a garbage can And I shake God's hand I jump up and let her know when I can This is how I'm gonna do it (Guitar Solo) They wanna blow down the prison They're lightin' fires with the cash of the ma**es And like the dough I don't fall down I'm so Detroit I make it rise from the ashes
