I’ve Run Away to Join the Fairies

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Stephin Merritt] I've run away to join the fairies This mortal world has lost its charms I'll be a flower for their garden Never to hold you in my arms [Verse 2] They will enchance me and enslave me And make of me their fool for fun Upon my head they'll place an ass-head More or less as you've always done [Verse 3] I loved you like I was your baby Although you couldn't even fly And though you held no eldritch secrets All too enthralled to you was I [Verse 4] In yonder forest grows a toadstool To make the mind of man grow small They will mistake me for their changeling I wasn't human after all
