Lyrics

[Chorus]
Oh, Len, come down and meet at the burial ground
They've undid the aerial, tore down the merry-go-round
This world's all wrong, so let's go where we belong
Pack up the stereo, meet at the burial ground
[Verse 1]
Here, among the fallen leaves
Are we alone, the ones that dare to breathe?
Throw your worries down, they're, oh, so gravely held
You have carried them so well
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, Len, come down and meet at the burial ground
They've undid the aerial, tore down the merry-go-round
This world's all wrong, so let's go where we belong
Pack up the stereo, meet at the burial ground
[Bridge]
You laid down below a stone
Saying, "Wherever they have gone, I long to go
Somewhere out beyond these maladies in my head"
At least I think that's what you said
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, Len, come down and meet at the burial ground
They've undid the aerial, tore down the merry-go-round
This world's all wrong, so let's go where we belong
Pack up the stereo, meet at the burial ground
[Chorus]
Oh, Len, come down and meet at the burial ground
They've undid the aerial, tore down the merry-go-round
The merry-go
Tore down the merry-go-round
Oh, this world's all wrong, so let's go where we belong
Pack up the stereo, meet at the burial ground
So contract malaria, meet at the burial ground
