Your keys aren’t lost, you’re keys aren’t gone
You didn’t leave them on the ground
They simply floated to the merry-go-found
To the merry-go-found in the sky
The match to your sock ain’t gone astray
It ain’t grown legs and walked away
It just floated off to the merry-go-found
The merry-go-found in the sky
Your headphones, glasses, and library card
Weren’t left at the store or dropped in the yard
They’ve just floated off to the merry-go-found
The merry-go-found in the sky
And Grandpa’s watch chain made of gold
You got when you were five years old
It wasn’t stolen, lost or sold
It just floated off to the merry-go-found
The merry-go-found in the sky
And the Hoisin sauce you’re sure you bought
And thought maybe you left in the parking lot
Has just floated off to the merry-go-found
The merry-go-found in the sky
And you’re wondering now: Well, what is the cost
To get there? To fetch all the things that I’ve lost?
But you should know, should know quite clear
That you have to
be lost to someone dear
In order to float to the merry-go-found
The merry-go-found in the sky
So make your choice and pick your poison:
Stay close to the loved ones you’ve already chosen?
Or reunite with your headphones, your keys and the Hoisin
At the merry-go-found in the sky?
Look, I won’t blame you either way
I won’t tell you to go, won’t tell you to stay
For a price, I will even be willing to lie
And say to your loved ones: “So sorry, he died.”
To spare them from knowing you went to the sky
To retrieve all those items of yours
And if you go, you can’t come back
But please throw down my hackey sack
I lost it just a li’l while back
But I don’t mean ‘lost’, I just mean that
It’s hitchin’ a ride on the merry-go-found
The merry-go-found in the sky.
