Come back from the mirror, it distracts your thoughts
Take off your dark glasses, leave them on the floor
Turn off the television and put down the phone
Burn the magazines you read when you're alone

Let's go down to the cemetery
Let's go down to the cemetery
Let's go down to the cemetery
Let's go down

In the dead out of the city there's a place I know
That everyone ignores and people never go
All streets lead there, so we'll find our way
And we get there, you do not have to be afraid

They're digging our graves, but while they work
Let's laugh at them 'cause of all of it is so absurd
Let's go dancing there, above the dead
Yeah, let's celebrate that we're not yet

Let's go down to the cemetery
Let's go down to the cemetery
Let's go down to the cemetery
Let's go down

Hold my breath, feel that it is warm
But it is temporary, baby, it'll soon be gone
Take a handful of dust and throw it in the air
What you once were you will be again

So when we're gone, let's get two graves
Together by the tree that rises tall and brave
And those who are still living out their birth
Will go dancing over our small patch of earth

Let's go down to the cemetery
Let's go down to the cemetery
Let's go down to the cemetery
Let's go down
