Lazaretto

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 points it at me
 When I say nothing, I say everything
 Yeah, when I say nothing, I say everything
 They threw me down in a lazaretto
 Born rottin', bored rotten
 Making 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 feral for nothing
 Quarantined on the Isle Of Man
 And I'm trying to escape any way that I can, oh
 Any way that I can, oh
 Damn, 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 blow down the prison
 They're lighting fires with the cash of the masses
 ♪
 And like the dough, I don't fall down
 I'm so Detroit, I make it rise from the ashes
 ♪
 Yeah, that's it
