Lyrics for Burial Ground
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 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 Ooh, woah Ooh, woah 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 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 Oh-whoa, oh-whoa Oh, Len (oh, Len) come down (come down) And meet at the burial ground (meet at the burial ground) They've undid the aerial Tore down the merry-go-round This world's (this world's) all wrong (all wrong) So let's go where we belong (let's go where we belong) Pack up the stereo, meet at the burial ground Oh, Len (oh, Len) come down (come down) And meet at the burial ground (meet at the burial ground) They've undid the aerial Tore down the merry-go-round (merry-go-round) (Tore down the merry-go-round) This world's (this world's) all wrong (all wrong) So let's go where we belong (let's go where we belong) Pack up the stereo, meet at the burial ground It's a contract malarial, meet at the burial ground
