Andrew Bird - Cathedral In The Dell Lyrics
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
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
Well there's a fiberglass castle in Wisconsin
Where kids race go-karts around a moat
Once we went up there in December
When all the water slides and fudge shops were closed
But all we did was drink in empty bars
Stumbling drunk, we crawled back to our hotel room
I fell against you, felt your beating heart
I felt your beating heart
Well the snow was 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

Was it the handsome family who did the original? I have no idea
Alex Hopkins , yes he is friends with them and did it with their blessing.
Yes. This whole album is Handsome Family songs.
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
Well there's a fiberglass castle in Wisconsin
Where kids race go-karts around a moat
Once we went up there in December
When 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
Stumbling drunk, we crawled back to our hotel room
I fell against you, felt your beating heart
I felt your beating heart
Well the snow was 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
