I go dancing in cemeteries
You can find many grave things in your past
Yeah, I do my dancing in cemeteries
I was half bewitched by a spell some light in the future cast
It all falls down
Like lilies to the box
And who will bury me?
Dance a while with me
Then send me down with lead weights to the sea
Melt me on those coals
Or I will hold you back
Hard for us to run
But it was you we left behind
Thrown insults and fireballs off at ghosts
Yeah we fought that war and you know we almost won
But when you fight yourself
You save no place at the winning post
And it all falls down
Like lilies to the box
And you will bury me
So dance a while with me
Then send me down with lead weights to the sea
Melt me on those coals
Or I will hold you back
I do my smiling when you're around
But you're not around and never likely to be
Cos you stand with flowers in the cemetery
And you line the road as far as I can see
And we'll all fall down like earth to the box
