Jack White - 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 traba o dolo
Come on, modera, y eso

Como y modera y eso

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 points it at me
When I say nothing, I say everything
Yeah when I say nothing, I say everything

They threw me down in the lazaretto
Boy rotten, board rottin'
Makin' models of people I used to know
Out of coffee and cotton

And all of my illegitimate kids have begotten
Thrown down to the wolves, made Pharaoh for nothin'
Quarantine on the Isle of Man and I'm trying 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

They wanna bow down in prison
They're lighting fires with the cast of the masses

And lock the door, why don't fall down
I'm so Detroit, I make it rise from the ashes
