A [D] [G]
cathedral in Cologne looks like a spaceship, like the hand of [D] God falling from [G] the sky.
[C] A thousand stone carved saints hang [G] like icicles, [A] but icicles don't take a thousand years to
die.
[C] [G]
And everyone who's ever worked on this cathedral, or even spent [A] a moment [G] walking by,
Every [C] one of us is swept away [G] like bread crumbs.
[A] What comfort does it bring?
[D] Soaring towers let [C] me hide.
[G] There's a fiberglass castle in Wisconsin, where kids [D] race go-karts [G] around the mall.
[C] Once we went up there in [G] December, [A] when every water slide and food shop was closed.
[C]
[G] Hoping to feel love under the icicles.
All we did [A] was drink in an [G] empty bar.
[C] But stumbling drunk we crawled back to [G] our motel room.
[A] I fell against you and felt your [C] beating heart.
[G] Snow was slowly falling on the ice machine, and the moon [D] shone hazy through [G] the pipes.
[C] But there were lounge chairs thrown into [G] the empty pool, [A] and a dog chained to a tree, [D] barking at the sky.
[C] [Gm] [G]
