The locker’s chill is a custom-tailored suit A zipper 'tween my teeth, the taste of forbidden fruit The coroner’s light is a sterile hospital sun I woke with a breath of a holiday gone wrong I’m the glitch in the file, the silence that screams A marble statue waking from Technicolor dreams. The formaldehyde turned to gin! The dust turned to satin! I’ve stepped out of the box, baby... And the world looks like a garden of sins! Oh, the city lights are knives of neon! I died on Sunday, but I’m reborn in the song! A dandy ghost in a black Cadillac The love is a poison, and I’m coming back! Dance, Lazarus, dance 'neath a paper moon Kicked out of Hell, but Heaven’s out of tune! Check the frozen watch on a stranger’s wrist The widow gets the payout, I get the twist A bath of dirt and ashes, a promise left thin Resurrection is a courtesy I'm wearing like skin! I’ve got the charm of a Hollywood ghoul Hungry as a wolf, playing the "good" old fool A vintage scoundrel heading back to the bar To see who’s got the guts to follow this star. Black on black. The blood is dry. The heart is a broken metronome. Bela Lugosi... is jealous of me! The formaldehyde turned to gin! The dust turned to satin! I’ve stepped out of the box, baby... And the world looks like a garden of sins! Oh, the city lights are knives of neon! I died on Sunday, but I’m reborn in the song! A dandy ghost in a black Cadillac The love is a poison, and I’m coming back! Dance, Lazarus, dance 'neath a paper moon Kicked out of Hell, but Heaven’s out of tune! I’m the Starman who fell into a pine box Now I’m the King of these electric shocks... Just a dead man... Trying to light a cigarette in the rain. Just a dead man... Beautifully insane.
