Five Words - The Go-Betweens

It starts with a birthstone

And ends with a tombstone

Cathedrals in London

Cathedrals in Rome, all stone

And I just say (what do you say?)

And I just say (what do you say?)

Bury them don’t keep 'em

And I just know (what do you know?)

And I just know (what do you know?)

Bury them don’t keep 'em

Praise to the vision

That pays for the angel

Coins in communion

Ring like a halo.*

Lay me down

On my knees

By my bed

At night

Lay me down

On my knees

By my bed

At night

Hail to the generals

But hell to the public

Bows for the bishop

And bones for believers

Rap, rap, rap on the lid

Rap, rap, rap on the lid

Bury them don’t keep 'em etc
