Cathedral in the Dell

Lyrics

The cathedral in cologne looks like a spaceship
 Like the hand of God falling from the sky
 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
 Well there's a fiberglass castle in Wisconsin
 Where kids race go-karts around a moat
 
 Once we went up there in December
 When all the water slides 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 room
 I fell against you and felt your beating heart
 I felt your beating heart
 Well the snow was slowly falling on the ice machine
 And the moon shone hazy through the pines
 ♪
 Lawn chairs are thrown into an empty pool
 A dog chained to a tree, barking at the sky
 ♪
 Towers left behind
