Karrakatta Cemetery - Nicholas Allbrook

Karrakatta cemetery

Between the hospital and the train

I guess you’re either coming or going

But unless you’re gone it’s all the same

Ever since grandmas coffin

Was lowered in the ground

I haven’t been able to forget yet

The lack of dignity in that sound

Père Lachaise is a holiday

Looks so beautiful in the rain

Karrakatta is a thought of hell full of memories and pain

Karrakatta cemetery

Couldn’t look more like WA

A bowl of water stains the tombstones

And the grass is dead

And the gravel’s red

And the people are dead

Karrakatta cemetery

Between the hospital and the train

I guess you’re either coming or going

But unless you’re gone it’s all the same
