I don’t think there’s a strict Lazarus allegory, but that the song lays out the themes, the confrontation/relationships between the law, man, and God. Everett fits the mold, though, as a “hopeless” case (like Lazarus, beyond saving) who is brought back from the brink of death and even has a moment of (genuine?) faith ( or was he casting about in a moment of stress?).
So clearly, Everett is the Odysseus-type, the trickster "man of many ways."
But who's the Lazarus in the film?
