G 
The cathedral in Cologne looks like a spaceship 
                      D                G 
like the hand of God falling from the sky 
    C                                    G 
A thousand stone-carved saints hang like icicles 
    A                      D 
but icicles don't take a thousand years to die

G 
And everyone who's ever worked on this cathedral 
                 D             G 
or even spent a moment walking by 
     C                              G 
Everyone of us is swept away like breadcrumbs 
      A                              D             C    G 
What comfort does it bring, soaring towers left behind? 

G 
There's a fiberglass castle in Wisconsin 
                 D                 G 
where kids race go-karts around a moat 
C                           G 
once we went up there in December 
      A                    D 
when every waterslide and fudgeshop was closed

G 
Hoping to feel love under the icicles 
                 D                G 
all we did was drink in an empty bar 
      C                                     G 
but stumbling drunk we crawled back to our motel room 
       A                    D                  C   G 
and I fell against you and felt your beating heart 

G 
Snow was slowly falling on the ice machine 
         D                           G 
and the moon shone hazy through the pines 
      C                                      G 
but there were lounge chairs thrown into the empty pool 
       A                     D  
and a dog chained to a tree barking at the sky
