To the Boneyard Los Campesinos!

[Verse 1: Gareth]
Respite in twilight, space in the cavity wall at grandparent's house behind the apple tree
Where once you sang with your siblings now watching bodies bobbing down the stream, leaving the town

[Verse 2: Gareth]
I'm a picture of no flesh, only bones as we're stripping off my skin to run it up the pole
And salute the breeze that ripples the sheath of the skeleton that's trembling on the ground beneath

[Chorus: Gareth, Gareth & Kim]
Walked your entire country up the central reservation
Take me to the boneyard, baby, take me to the boneyard, baby
The deadest stare, the slackest hair, the saddest conservation
Take me to the boneyard, baby, take me to the boneyard, baby

[Bridge: Gareth]
We rifle through piles of bones
For something to chew on
For something to own

[Verse 3: Gareth, Gareth & Kim]
Through my teenage years at my mother's house, every evening, six times, there comes a phone call to ask
"Where's my daughter gone?" She moved six years ago
Now receiver's cold, the phone calls dry, there's no one home
And that is what we feared the most

[Chorus: Gareth, Gareth & Kim]
Walked your entire country up the central reservation
Take me to the boneyard, baby, take me to the boneyard, baby
The deadest stare, the slackest hair, the saddest conservation
Take me to the boneyard, baby, take me to the boneyard, baby
