The cathedral in Cologne looks like a spaceship
Like the hand of God falling from the sky
(strumming)
A thousand stone-carved saints hang like icicles
But icicles don't take a thousand years to die
And all of us who worked on this cathedral
Or even spent a moment passing by
All of us are swept away like breadcrumbs
What comfort does it bring
Soaring towers left behind
Towers left behind
(single strum)
Well there's a fiberglass castle in Wisconsin
Where kids race go-carts around a moat
(strumming)
Once we went up there in December
When all the waterslides and fudge shops were closed
Looking to find love under the ice machine
But all we did was drink in empty bars
Stumbling drunk we crawled back to our hotel rooms
I fell against you and felt your beating heart
I felt your beating heart
(single strum)
Well the snow is slowly falling on the ice machine
A A *
Lawn chairs were thrown into an empty pool
A dog chained to a tree barking at the sky
Towers left behind
