SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The (Unofficial) Song Challenge:   From WYSIWYG -- My ISP is pretty slow today so someone else may want to fish up the correct info, but apparently a Boston funeral director has revived a lady in a body bag at his shop.  Seems she had tried to kill herself and only partially succeeded. And gurgled loud enough that the FD opened up the body bag for a look, and then cleared her airway and called 911. Sounds like the Medical Examiner had to declare her alive before the FD could release the living body to medical authorities, and wow!!! Whatta way to go, and come back again!  Gotta be at least one song in that one! Go to it, 'Cateers!

Lazarus Child by Bradypus

They say it's important to know when you've had enough.
I've had enough.
They say that depression is cured if you take the right pills
I don't buy that stuff
They say smile at poverty, look on the bright side of life
It rings in my head
I've got nothing, I'm no-one, I'm loveless, I'm weary, I'm tired
I wish I was dead

They said take the tablets. I took them and stashed them away
I'd nothing to loose
Don't drink with the tablets, they said, so I knew what to do
A bottle of booze
And then came the sleeping, the slipping, the dying, the end
No pain in my head
The ambulance, the hospital, the doctors, the nurses, the end
Certified dead

The cold of the mortuary entered my heart and my soul
A flicker of light
A breath, and a moan, and a sigh, a shiver, a gasp
Echoes the night
She's alive! She might live! Hurry, resuscitate if you can
The whole place goes wild
Will I live? Can I choose to come back? Born again?
Lazarus child
