Lady Lazarus Lyrics - Ataraxia

Dying is an art like everything else 

I do it exceptionally well 

I do it that it feels like hell 

I do it that it seems real 

I guess you could say I've a call 

It's easy enough to do it in a cell 

It's easy enough to do it and stay put 

It's theatrical, beware ! 

Herr God, Herr Lucifer beware ! 

Out of the ash I'll rise with my black hair 

and I'll eat men like air 

Out of the ash I'll rise with my black hair 

Herr God, Herr Lucifer beware! 

Out of the ash I'll rise with my black hair 

and I'll eat men like air 

Out of the ash I'll rise with my black hair 

Herr God, Herr Lucifer beware ! 

[Lyrics by Sylvia Plath.]
