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 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 the lazaretto Born rottin', bored rotten 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 feral 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 blow down in prison They're lighting fires with the cast of the ma**es And like the dough I don't fall down I'm so Detroit, I make it rise from the ashes
