Lyrics:
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

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.

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

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
Contract malaria, meet at the burial ground!
