   Up and down

[continue all that for the remainder of the song]


Newspaper, newspaper 
Can't take no more 
You're here every morning 
Waiting at my door 

I'm just trying to kiss you 
And you stab my eyes 
Make me blue forever 
like an island sky 

And I'm not pretending that it's all ok 
Just let me have my coffee before you take away the day 

Lazarus, Lazarus 
Why all the tears? 
Did your faithful chauffer 
just disappear? 

What a lonesome feeling 
to be waiting round 
Like some washed up actress 
in a tinsel town 

Before the record I'd come pick you up 
We'll head for the ocean 
Just say when you've had enough 

All the light and sound 
This little world's too fragile now 
And there's only one way out 

But if you let me slide 
I'll do my best to make things right 
And I'm nowhere bound 
Just going up and down 
Up and down 

Milk Thistle, milk Thistle 
Let me down slow 
Just help me go slow 
I've been hurrying on 

I was poised for greatness 
I was down and out 
I keep death at my heels 
like a bassett hound 

If I go to heaven I'll be bored as hell 
Like a crying baby at the bottom of a well
