Getting through the passing years
And making out through the joy and tears
And it's over
Time is all we have to share
And we burn it up till there's nothing there
And it's over
Lazarus is waiting and paradise is near
Yeah I've been toiling all my living days
For the things that you see here
Through the eyes of seventeen a man can feel so free
And reality's a stranger that he never gets to see
All those pictures of perfection stay hidden from his eyes
As the day turns into night-time and the stars fill up the skies
I'm just getting through those passing years
And making out through the joy and tears
And it's over
Time is all we have to share
And we burn it up till there's nothing there
And it's over
Lazarus is waiting paradise is near
Lazarus is waiting paradise is near
So come on and get me here
All we have is getting through those passing years
And making out through the joy and tears
And it's over
Time is all we have to share
And we burn it up till there's nothing there
And it's over
Lazarus is waiting paradise is near
Yeah Lazarus is waiting and paradise is near I know
Lazarus is waiting
Lazarus is waiting...
