Cathedral in the Dell

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

But there's a fiberglass castle in wisconsin

Where kids race go-karts around a moat

Once we went off there in december

And 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

Stumblin' drunk, we crawled back to our hotel room

I fell against you and felt your beating heart

I felt your beating heart

Where the snow is 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
