Cathedrals
Lyricist:Andy Clark, Jerry Williams
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 everyone who ever worked on that cathedral Or even spent a moment walking by Everyone of us are swept away like breadcrumbs So what comfort does it bring, soaring towers left behind
There's a fiberglass castle in Wisconsin Where kids race go-karts around a moat Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Once we went up there in December When every water slide and fudge shop was closed
Hoping to find love under the ice machine All we did was drink in an empty bar But stumbling, drunk, we crawled back to our motel room I fell against you and felt your beating heart
Snow was slowly falling on the ice machine And the moon shone hazy through the pines But there were lounge chairs thrown into the empty pool And a dog chained to a tree barking at the sky
