Cathedrals The Handsome Family
The cathedral in[G] Cologne looks like a spaceship
like the hand of God f[D]alling from the s[G]ky
A th[C]ousand stone-carved saints hang like [G]icicles
but [A]icicles don't take a th[D]ousand years to die
[C] [G]

[G]And everyone who's ever worked on this cathedral
or even spent a m[D]oment walking [G]by
Every[C]one of us is swept away like br[G]eadcrumbs
What c[A]omfort does it bring, soaring t[D]owers left beh[C]ind?[G]
[G]There's a fiberglass castle in Wisconsin
where kids race g[D]o-karts around a m[G]oat
[C]once we went up there in Dec[G]ember
when e[A]very waterslide and f[D]udgeshop was closed
[C] [G]

[G]Hoping to feel love under the icicles
all we did was dr[D]ink in an empty b[G]ar
but st[C]umbling drunk we crawled back to our m[G]otel room
and I f[A]ell against you and f[D]elt your beating he[C]art[G]
[G]Snow was slowly falling on the ice machine
and the m[D]oon shone hazy through the p[G]ines
but th[C]ere were lounge chairs thrown into the [G]empty pool
and a d[A]og chained to a tree b[D]arking at the sky
[C] [G]
